Mrs. Miller sells a house for $179,000. If she earns a commission of 6%, how much money does she earn? Write a proportion and show ALL your work.
I got the equation right but i missed a point because my teacher said

"How did you go from x=6x179,000 to 6x1790?"
Could someone show the correct way of writing out this problem?
Answered by Damon
6 / 100 = x / 179,000

multiply both sides by 179,000
6 * 179,000 / 100 = x

so x = 6 * 1790

x = 10,740
