A real estate agent made $9,350 on a sale. Their commission was 5%. How much did the home sell for?

One of the great things about John's percentage videos is that this really is everyday math and he's really got me good on my percentage game.

Students struggle with percentage problems. I believe they struggle because they are not able to translate English words into math equations or expressions. John’s videos practice this translation process. Bravo!

Start by documenting knowns:
commission rate (CR) = 5% = 0.05
commission earned (CE) = $9,350
Base Price (BP) = ?
Selling Price (SP) = ?
Formulas:
Selling Price (SP) = BP + CE
CE = BP × CR
or
BP = CE ÷ CR
substituting in knowns =>
BP = $9 350 ÷ 0.05
BP = $187,000
SP = $187,000 × (1 + CR)
= $187,000 × 1.05
= $196,350.00

9,350 / 0.05 = 187,000

5% = 1/20th. So multiply by 20.

[@larrydickenson8922]

$187,000. Multiply by 100 and then divide by 5.

[@kennethwright870]

What sales price is $9350 commission 5% of? $9350/5% = 187000
Or, since 5% = 1/20, then price (off which commission paid) = 20*$9350=
$187,000

0.5x =9350 x=9350/0.5x= 18700
