A Missouri agent sells 5 homes in a month with an average price of $240,000. Their commission is 2.7% of each sale. What is their total commission that month?
A$32,400✓ Correct
B$16,200
C$12,600

Explanation
Total sales = 5 × $240,000 = $1,200,000. Total commission = $1,200,000 × 2.7% = $32,400. To solve this, multiply the relevant values: $240,000 at 2.7%.. The correct answer is $32,400.. This is a common calculation on the Missouri real estate exam.
