Answer:

The house decreased by $41490. The current value of the house is $419510

Explanation:

The house starts at 100% value and goes down by 9%.

100-9 is 91

you move the decimal over 2 places to the left and get .91

you multiply 461000(.91) and you get 419510

that's the current value on the house

to find the amount, lost subtract

416000-419510

and you get $41490.

$41,490

Explanation:

9% = 0.09

Do 9% of 461,000

which is 0.09 times 461000.
