Ok to start with find 1% of 450,000. (divide by 100 then times by 1).
So to find 20% its just 20 times 1%.
Now add this value to 450,000 which gives you the price with VAT.

Now you need to find the fee of the sale price.
Now do the same thing again, find 1% of your new number then times it by 0.75.
That is the agents fee.
