Respuesta :

if we take the 423000 to be the 100%, how much is 8% off of it in bucks?

[tex]\begin{array}{ccll} amount&\%\\ \cline{1-2} 423000&100\\ x&8 \end{array}\implies \cfrac{423000}{x}=\cfrac{100}{8}\implies \cfrac{423000}{x}=\cfrac{25}{2} \\\\\\ 846000=25x\implies \cfrac{846000}{25}=x\implies 33840=x[/tex]

Answer(s):

  • The house value increase in dollars in 33,840.
  • The current cost of the house is $456,840.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • 423,000 = 100%
  • => 4,230 = 100/100%
  • => 4,230 = 1%
  • => 4,230 x 108 = 108%
  • => 456,840 = 108%

Hence, the current cost of the house is $456,840.

  • => 456,840 - 423,000 = Increased cost.
  • => 33,840 = Increased cost

Hence, the house value increase in dollars in 33,840.
