Word Problem on Premium?

Christie's Auction sold a painting for $24,500. It charges all buyers a 15% premium of the final bid price. How much did the bidder pay Christie's Auction for this painting?

    So the bidder paid the selling price + the premium:

    24,500 + (0.15 x 24,500) = 24,500 + 3,657

    Amount paid by bidder: $28,175
