12. Michelle is selling her condo. She needs to make at least $42,000 from the sale so she can make a down payment on a new house. If a 5.5% real estate commission is deducted, what is
the lowest offer Michelle should accept to get her down payment?

Total amount she need = $44,444

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount Michelle needs = $42,000

Real state commission = 5.5%

Find:

Total amount she need

Computation:

Assume,

Total amount she need = x

So,

Real state commission = 0.055x

So,

x - 0.055x = 42000

x (0.945) = 42,000

x = 44,444 (Approx)

Total amount she need = $44,444

step-by-step explanation:

through just a quick inspection, one can see that the graph of this cubing function starts in quadrant iii and ends in quadrant i.   when x = 0, y = 3, so the y-intercept is (0, 3).
