Real Estate Math
A Delaware property sells for $550,000. The listing broker and buyer's broker each receive 50% of a 5% total commission. What does each broker receive?
A$11,000
B$13,750✓ Correct
C$16,500
D$27,500
Explanation
Total commission = $550,000 × 0.05 = $27,500. Each broker receives 50%: $27,500 × 0.50 = $13,750. To solve this, multiply the relevant values: $550,000 at 50%.. The correct answer is $13,750.. This is a common calculation on the Delaware real estate exam.
