A seller in Illinois receives $312,000 net after paying a 6% broker commission. What was the original selling price?
A$318,720
B$330,000
C$312,000✓ Correct
D$329,000
Explanation
If the seller nets $312,000 after a 6% commission, the selling price × (1 - 0.06) = $312,000. So selling price = $312,000 ÷ 0.94 = $331,914.89, approximately $331,915. The commission would be $331,915 × 0.06 = $19,915, and $331,915 - $19,915 = $312,000.
