Explanation Given: House selling price P is given by P = A + C , where C is the real estate agent commission and A is the amount received by the seller. The house is sold for $165,000. The amount received by the seller is $156,750. Calculation: It is given that house selling price is $165,000. That is, P = $ 165 , 000 . Also, amount received by the seller is $156,750. That is, A = $ 156 , 750 . Substitute P = $ 165 , 000 and A = $ 156 , 750 in P = A + C and obtain the commission received by the agent as follows

Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…
