It is given in the question that

The asking price on a house was $350,000. Because it was on the market for six months it was finally sold for $297,500.

And we have to find the percentage of the original price it was sold for or in other words, we have to find 297500 is what percentage of 350000 .


= (297500)/(350000)*100 = 85%

So the house is sold for 85% of the original price .
