A contractor was hired to build a house which will cost $300000. The contractor also includes a percentage fee of $15000 for the overall cost of the contract.
What percent of the cost of the house is the contractor's percentage fee?

Answer

To find the percentage fee, divide the fee by the cost of the house and multiply by 100:

  1. Percentage fee = ($15000 / $300000) * 100
  2. Percentage fee = 0.05 * 100
  3. Percentage fee = 5%

The contractor's percentage fee is 5% of the cost of the house.
