28. Eric sold his house through an agent who charged 8% commission on the selling price. If Eric received #117,760.00 after the sale, what was the selling price of the house?
- A. #130,000.000
- B. #128,000.000Correct
- C. #125,000.000
- D. #120,000.000
Explanation
Since the agent charged 8%, Eric received 92% of the selling price: 92%→#117,760, so 100%→x. x = (100%×#117,760)/92% = #128,000.
