German term

85% einer MM

German to English Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general) Leased Accommodation
This is in a letter from a Mitwohn Zentrale to a client about rental accommodation. The amount is 255.00 EU. The next line is Zzgl. 16% MsSt. = 40,80 EU

I have no idea what the MM is.
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Stephen Sadie

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

It goes as follows: Vermittlungsgeb�hr (85% einer MM) = 450,00 EU
Zzgl.16% MwSt. = 40,80 EU
Sorry I should have mentioned that at the start.

Could we have the sentence in which MM appears, please.
