    Price to sell the house = $317,460.32

    Explanation:

    Total net profit required = $300,000

    Provided commission to broker = 5.5% on selling value.

    Therefore Net profit = 100 - 5.5 = 94.5% as this is net of commission.

    Now we have Net Selling Price = $300,000/94.5% = $317,460.32

    Note: Let us cross check

    Commission on sales = $317,460.32 X 5.5% = $17,460.32

    Therefore Net profit in hand = $317,460.32 - Commission $17,460.32 = $300,000

    Final Answer

    Price to sell the house = $317,460.32
