Question

Andrew paid an agency 10% of his first year's rent for finding him an apartment. His rent is $1,800 per month.

What is the amount of the commission that Andrew paid the agency?

Answer 1

We basically know that we have to find the reverse of 10%, so we'd take the reciprocal that is 100/10

Answer 2

rent per month = 1,800.
rent paid the first year = 12 months x 1800 = 21600
that is "10 percent of 21600"
'10%' = '0.1'
'of' means 'multiplied by'
so the whole equation transforms to--> 0.1 x 21600 = $2160

Answer 3

Oh wow, I got it wrong.
