Mkey [24]

A homeowner paid $85,000 for a house three years ago. The house sells today for $110,000. How much has the property appreciated?
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Amount paid for house three years ago = $85,000

Selling price of house today = $110,000

Therefore,

Property appreciated by following percentage:

= (change in value ÷ Amount paid for house three years ago) × 100

= [($110,000 - $85,000) ÷ $85,000] × 100

= ($25,000 ÷ $85,000) × 100

= 0.2941 × 100

= 29.41%
