Answer 1

Explanation:

he sold the house for 180000, which is 24% more than the amount he paid.

180000 = x + 0.24x

Simplifying this equation, we get:

1.24x = 180000

x = 180000 / 1.24

x ≈ 145161.29

Chengbo paid approximately 145161.29 yuan for the house.

Answer 2

Answer:

x ≈ 145161.29

Explanation:

Let's assume that the amount Chengbo paid for the house was x.

According to the problem, the amount for which he sold the house (180000) is 24% more than the amount he paid:

180000 = x + 0.24x

Simplifying this equation:

180000 = 1.24x

x = 180000 / 1.24

x ≈ 145161.29

Therefore, the amount Chengbo paid for the house was approximately 145161.29 yuan (to 3 significant figures).

Note: We rounded the answer to 3 significant figures because that is the level of precision given in the question (the sale price is given to the nearest 1000 yuan).
