Start by dividing $182,745 by 93, since that is the percentage of the money the person got from selling the house. This gives you 1% of the house's selling price.($1,965.) The next step would be to take the answer to that and multiply it by 100, as to get the total price of the house. So, $196,500 is your answer.
