**Step 1. Determine the Total Sale Price**

The house sells for  
$$
\$150{,}000
$$

**Step 2. Identify Seller’s Deductions**

The sellers have to pay:
- Broker’s commission of $$6\%$$ of the sale price:
  $$
  0.06 \times 150{,}000 = \$9{,}000
  $$
- Other closing costs:
  $$
  \$1{,}300
  $$
- Existing mortgage balance:
  $$
  \$40{,}000
  $$

**Step 3. Compute Seller’s Net Proceeds**

Subtract the deductions from the sale price:
$$
150{,}000 - 9{,}000 - 1{,}300 - 40{,}000 = 99{,}700
$$

**Final Answer**

The sellers will receive  
$$
\$99{,}700.
$$
The sellers will receive \$99,700.
