Trevor is a real estate agent. He earns 6% commission on the price of each home that he sells. If Trevor sold a house for $186,650, how much money did he earn?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a percentage in decimal form is the percentage divided by 100 so the 6% would turn into a .06 Then multiply .06 by $186,650 and you get $11,199 and that is your answer.
