The stem-and-leaf plot above shows house sale prices over the last week in Tacoma. What was the most expensive house sold? Give your answer in dollars

Answer:

$370,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the stem and leaf plot :

Stem__Leaf

0_____667778999

1_____ 02447778889999

2_____0011234445667889

3_____00011227

The stem is represented in units of hundred thousand and the leaf in ten thousand. Therefore from the plot above, the most expensive house will be the one with both the highest hundred thousand and ten thousand placed value.

300,000(stem) + 70,000(leaf) = 370,000
