A house costs 36% more today than when it was built. if the cost of the house today is $333200, find its cost when it was built.

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of the house when built is Rs.925555.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of the house when built be rs. x

Therefore, the cost of the house today is 36% of x

36/100*x=9/25*x

According to the problem,

The cost of the house today is Rs. 333200

Therefore,

9/25*x=333200

x=333200*25/9

x=925555.56
