Question

a house cost 36% more today then when it was built.If the cost of the house today is 333200,find its cost when it was built.​

Answer 1

Answer:

245000

Step-by-step explanation:

let the original cost be x.

so 36% increase means:

(36/100)*x

=> 36x/100

Now add this to original price to show the growth of the price

36x/100 + x

=>(36x+100x)/100

=>136x/100

Now according to question the current price is 333200

therefore:

136x/100 = 333200

x= (333200 x 100)/136

=245000

therefore the cost when it was built is 245000
