Shayla is financing a house for $126,750. she has to pay $450 plus 1.15% for a brokerage fee. how much are the mortgage brokerage fees?

$1,907.63

Explanation:

It is stated in the problem that the brokerage fee is $450 plus 1.15% (meaning 1.15% of $126,750). Hence the brokerage fee is computed as follows
  
(Brokerage fee) = $450 + (1.15% of $126,750)
                          = $450 + (0.0115)($126,750) 
                          = $450 + $1,457.625
                          = $1,907.625

Since there is no half cents today, we round-off the brokerage fee to the nearest cent. Hence the brokerage fee is $1,907.63.

Note: In the computation of brokerage fee, we need to change 1.15% to  decimal.
