Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to change 17% into a decimal which would be 0.17 which makes it easier to work with.

If we put this into an equation we know some value of x is the original price of the house and 0.17 (17%) of this unknown x is 30600.

Therefore: x * 0.17 = 30600

We divide 0.17 on both sides to cancel it on the left and get x by itself.

Now x = 30600/0.17

We get x = $180,000

Therefore, the original price of the home was $180,000.
