Answer:
$ 700,000
Explanation:
Let x be the original value of the Zlatan's house,
After increasing the value of the house by 7%,
New cost of his house = (100+7)% of x
= 107% of x
![=(107x)/(100)](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/high-school/vf3nhjewn64ok2f9vdg12w0u689cm2kv7z.png)
= 1.07x
According to the question,
![1.07x = 749,000](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/high-school/mhg7f43zq4lfpziam2bt6nsmq483o8jche.png)
![x=(749000)/(1.07)=\$ 700000](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/high-school/96umdb0dg6w675sae7ulk4p0q63mphgyar.png)
Hence, his house value would be $ 700000 before the increase.
