You can put this solution on YOUR website! When something decreases in value, you simply subtract that percentage of the original value off of the original value
In other words, we do this
300,000-(8%)(300,000).......Subtract 8 percent of 300,000 from 300,000
300,000-(0.08)(300,000)....Rewrite 8% as 0.08
300,000-24,000..................Multiply
276,000...........................Subtract
So the house is now worth $276,000
