Questıon 1 (b points) A real estate broker sold your house for \( \$ 72,000 \). The broker's commission was \( 6 \% \) of the selling price. How much would you get for the house after the commission is paid? A) \( \$ 76,320 \) B) \( \$ 67,680 \) C) \( \$ 70,800 \) D) \( \$ 73,200 \)

To find out how much you would get for the house after the broker's commission is paid, we first need to calculate the commission amount. 1. Calculate the commission: \[ \text{Commission} = \text{Selling Price} \times \text{Commission Rate} \] \[ \text{Commission} = 72,000 \times 0.06 = 4,320 \] 2. Subtract the commission from the selling price to find out how much you will receive: \[ \text{Amount Received} = \text{Selling Price} - \text{Commission} \] \[ \text{Amount Received} = 72,000 - 4,320 = 67,680 \] Therefore, the amount you would get for the house after the commission is paid is \( \$ 67,680 \). The correct answer is **B) \( \$ 67,680 \)**.
