Question

A lot 80 feet wide and 200 feet deep is sold at $500 per front foot. Commission is 10% of sales price, and the selling salesperson receives 60% of the commission. What does the salesperson receive?

Answer 1

I assume the front foot is the perimeter of the lot.

2(80 + 200) = 560 feet

560 * 500 * 0.1 = $_________ commission

Multiply the commission by 0.6 to find the salesperson's money.

Answer 2

Answer is $2400
I don't get that with your explanation.

Answer 3

Your answer is correct if we assume that the frontage is 80 feet. The problem isn't clear about which number to use for the front feet.
