Jacqueline · Answer 1

Current price of house = $222,000

Explanation:

given data

property that sold = $275,000

values decreasing at rate = $2,000 per week

Each bedroom = $30,000

a bathroom = $15,000

solution

we get here Price of 3 bedroom & 3 bathroom house (4 weeks ago) is

Price of 3 bedroom & 3 bathroom house (4 weeks ago) = $275,000 - $30,000 - $15,000

Price of 3 bedroom & 3 bathroom house (4 weeks ago) = $230000

and

reduction in price at $2000 per week for 4 weeks = 4 * 2000

reduction in price at $2000 per week for 4 weeks = ($8,000)

so

Current price of house = $230000 - $8,000

Current price of house = $222,000
