\begin{tabular}{l}\multicolumn{1}{|c|}{6} \\ Jason works as a red estate agent and \\ earns a \( 5 \% \) cormission on the sde price of \\ each house he sels. Last month, Jason sold a \\ house for \( \$ 300,000 \). How much did he earn \\ n commission? \end{tabular}

To find out how much Jason earned in commission from selling the house, we multiply the sale price by his commission rate. So, \( 5\% \) of \( \$ 300,000 \) is calculated as follows: \[ \text{Commission} = \text{Sale Price} \times \text{Commission Rate} = 300,000 \times 0.05 = 15,000. \] Therefore, Jason earned \( \$ 15,000 \) in commission from the sale. Now, imagine if Jason sold multiple houses; his earnings could skyrocket! Property market trends can influence his earnings significantly. Additionally, if he develops good negotiation skills and market knowledge, he can secure better deals for clients, potentially leading to even higher commissions.
