Eric sold his house through an agent who charged 8% commission on the selling price. If Eric received $117,760.00 after the sale, what was the selling price of the house? 

A.

$130,000.00

B.

$128,000.00

C.

$125,000.00

D.

$120,000.00

Correct answer is B

\(\frac{8}{100} \times x + 117,760 = x\)

x - \(\frac{8x}{100} = 117,760

\(\frac{92x}{100} = 117,760\)

x = \(\frac{117,760 \times 100}{92}\)

Selling price = N128,000
