A seller nets $285,000 after paying a 5% commission on the sale. What was the sale price?
A$299,250
B$300,000✓ Correct
C$297,500
D$285,000
Explanation
Net = Sale Price × (1 − 0.05). $285,000 = SP × 0.95. SP = $285,000 / 0.95 = $300,000. To solve this, multiply the relevant values: $285,000 at 5%.. The correct answer is $300,000.. This is a common calculation on the New Hampshire real estate exam.
