Question

Mrs. Miller sells a house for $179,000. If she earns a commission of 6%, how much money does she earn? Write a porportion and show your work.

I don't understand how to do it, I have seen the other questions and I don't get how you got 1074000. Can this be explained?

Answer 1

179,000 x 0.06 = ? commission earned. Written a a proportion I would write:
(1/0.06) = (179,000/x)
