Plese help me i am very stuck ​

Answer 1

The house's value increased by $24,120. The current value of the house is $292,120

Explanation:

First off, we need to multiply the percentage (9%) by the previous value of $268,000. In order to do that, we need to turn the percentage into a decimal. So, 9% → .09

268,000 x .09 = 24,120

Now you can add this number to the previous house value to get your current house value. (Your house increase in value by 24,120)

24,120 + 268,000 = 292,120

Answer 2

`\begin{array}c \cline{1-1} \textit{a\% of b}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{a}{100} \right)\cdot b \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{9\% of 268000}}{\left( \cfrac{9}{100} \right)268000}\implies 24120~\hfill \stackrel{\stackrel{current~value}{268000+24120}}{292120}`
