    A real estate agent sells a house for $229,605. A sales commission of 6% is charged. The agent gets 45% of this commission. How much money does the agent get?

    The agents Commission (C) is:
    C = Sale price * sales commission percent * agent commission percent

    Since 6% = 0.06 and 45% = 0.45, we have:
    C = 229605 * 0.06 * 0.45
    C = 6,199.34
