Alissa sells real estate. She makes a 3% commission rate on each sale. Alissa pays 25% of her commission to her home office to pay for expenses. How can Alissa calculate the amount of money she will keep after selling a $250,000 home?

First calculate Alissa’s commission: $250,000 × 0.03 = $7,500. She keeps 75% of that commission after paying 25% to her home office, so multiply $7,500 by 0.75. Choice C describes these steps and gives her $5,625 to keep.
