Real Estate Math
A Delaware salesperson earns $72,000 per year in commissions. Their broker takes 35% and the agent keeps 65%. If they sold properties at an average commission of $7,200 per transaction, how many transactions did they close?
A10✓ Correct
B15
C12
D8
Explanation
Total commissions earned by agent (65% share) = $72,000. Total commission generated by transactions = $72,000 ÷ 65% = $72,000 ÷ 0.65 = $110,769. Number of transactions = $110,769 ÷ $7,200 ≈ 15.4. But if $7,200 per transaction is the agent's share: Transactions = $72,000 ÷ $7,200 = 10.
