house has increased in value by 35% since it was purchased. If the current value is $567,000, what was the value when it was purchased?

Sagot :

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  $420,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If we say the current value (v) is 35% more than the purchase price (p), then we have ...

  v = p + 0.35·p

  567,000 = 1.35p

Dividing by the coefficient of p, we get ...

  p = 567,000/1.35 = 420,000

The value when it was purchased was $420,000.
