A buyer purchases a property at $340,000. The seller paid the buyer's closing costs of $6,800 and the 5.5% commission from the proceeds. What are the seller's total closing costs?
A$24,500
B$25,500✓ Correct
C$25,300
D$24,700
Explanation
Commission: $340,000 × 0.055 = $18,700. Total seller costs: $6,800 + $18,700 = $25,500. To solve this, multiply the relevant values: $340,000 and $6,800 at 5.5%.. The correct answer is $25,500.. This is a common calculation on the Oregon real estate exam.
