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

0.10 X $21,600 =?

Answer 2

His rent is $1800 per month so there's 12 months in a year so multiply the amount by 12

You get $21600 per year. Since Andrew is only paying 10% of his first year's rent divide the cost by 10 so 21600/10= 2,160$
