If a real estate agent received a commission of 6 percent of the selling price of a certain house, what was the selling price of the house?

(1) The selling price minus the real estate agent's commission was $84,600.

(2) The selling price was 250 percent of the original purchase price of $36,000.

pick D

st 1 : X + 0.06 X= $84,600. Solve for X

St 2: X = 2.5 * 36,000.

Both the sts are sufficient
