Question 1066398
renovations were 16% of the price of the house.


he paid 980,000 for the house and the renovations.


what was the price of the house.


let x = the price of the house.


x + .16 * x = 980,000


factor out the x to get 1.16 * x = 980,000


solve for x to get x = 980,000 / .16 = 844,827.5862.


i'm assuming you meant 16% of the price of the house.


if not, then the solution could be different.
