A real estate agent earns 3% on the sale of a house priced at $95,000. Calculate the amount of her commission. Show your work.

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

3% * 95000

OpenStudy (mathmale):

One can type "3% of $95,000" or 0.03($95,000), but not 3% * 95000. I'd strongly suggest converting that 3% to a decimal fraction before doing anything else.

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

So its $2850??

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

yeah
