Real Estate Math

A Kansas home sells for $229,000. The seller pays 6% commission and has a remaining mortgage balance of $145,000. What are the seller's gross proceeds before other closing costs?

A$70,260✓ Correct
B$68,260
C$70,000
D$69,260

Explanation

Commission = $229,000 × 0.06 = $13,740. Net = $229,000 - $13,740 - $145,000 = $70,260. To solve this, multiply the relevant values: $229,000 and $145,000 at 6%.. The correct answer is $70,260.. This is a common calculation on the Kansas real estate exam.
