Answer 1

Answer:

140 new houses have been sold this year

Explanations:

Number of houses built last year = 160

7/8 of those houses have been sold this year

Number of those new houses that have been sold this year = 7/8 x 160

Number of those new houses that have been sold this year = 1120 / 8

Number of those new houses that have been sold this year = 140
