If a house cost $1,682 in 1844, and the same house cost $122,776 now, what is the percentage of increase?

Solve the equation:\n\n(Price increase)/(Original Price) x 100\n\nPlugging in our values, you get:\n\n(122776 - 1682)/(1682) x 100\n\nSolving for x, you get x = 7200% increase\n\n------------\n\nHope this helps

Real estate markets vary state to state as taxes .Real estate usually raises and I really don't see the past history doing other wise.Banks are now raising rates .We had a nice rate on real estate loans for awhile.Now people are slowing down buying and rates are going up again.

An increase of 80% would be the same as multiplying by 180% (the original 100% plus the extra 80%)\n\nso you take 90 * 1.80 \n\nand you should have 162.

The previous answer seems correct; however, it can be expanded upon.  2 houses may be of the same floor plan, built the same year, but one may be located on the cul-de-sac or on a corner/intersection of the same street, which increases it's value.  The higher valued home might have a 2-car, instead of single car garage.  It might have better parking, or a pool, or fencing or enhanced landscaping.  It may have had upgraded roofing or siding. Perhaps upgraded insulation has been installed in the attic or in windows, etc.  It might also have an upgraded kitchen or bathroom(s).  If both homes were designed and built with basic linoleum flooring, but one was upgraded to tile, hardwood etc., the value would increase.  Even the installation of skylights and energy efficient appliances/systems would be cause for greater value.  'Hope that helps! ~MJULE

Depends on location, but in general homes with pools have at least a $5,000 higher market value for the similar house without a pool

(50,000,000/37,172,015)^(1/14)=1.021\n2.1% average annual increase

House numbers:\n\nYou pay 50¢ per digit.  Therefore 8000 costs $2.00.\n\nYou made a mistake in the statement though.  You are not conjugating properly.  it should be 15 costS and 100 costS, since they are singular items (as a group), not multiple :)\n\nLike you said, one way to avoid the conjugation issues is to use the past, but you can also use this way:\n\nI bought 1 for 50¢, 15 for $1.00, and 100 for $1.50.  How much did I pay for 8000?

It depends on whether or not she keeps the condo.\n\nIf she does, it would be a 100 dollar increase.\nIf not, a 200 dollar decrease.\n\nOn the other hand, she could just sell the new house, and there would be no change, and she would have enough in savings to keep her condo for about 25 years.

The prior answer is exactly right, but as far as a general rule goes:\n\nDivide the current value by the present value - here, $200,000 divided by $100,000 = 2\n\nIf you want to figure out the average increase over x periods, simply take the xth root of the quotient you calculated above.\n\nHere, again, for example, you're looking for the 5th root of 2, because you're trying to figure out the average increase over 5 years (therefore, the 5th root) of 2 (the quotient)\n\nSo - using that formula here:\n\nThe 5th root of 2 (the same as 2 raised to the 0.2 power) equals 1.14869.\n\nIgnore the leading 1 - you're looking for the numbers after the decimal place. Therefore, the average rate of growth is 14.869 percent per year over 5 years.\n\nThis approach should work for any similar problem.\n\nGood luck!

The increase is 624$ on 3900$.The % increase is 624/3900*100=16%.\nTo cross check the answer,3900*16%=624$.

4 X 6 = 24 square inches\n\n8 X 10 = 80 square inches\n\n80/24 = 3.33 , but this is not the percent 'increase'.\n\nPercent increase is:\n\n80 - 24 = 56 (the amount of increase)\n\n(56/24)(100%) = 233 percent 'increase'

You need to do prime factorization of the two numbers; which prime numbers multiply together to get those two numbers.\n\n$1843 = 19 * 97 \n$1957 = 19 * 103\n\nSounds like the first day they sold 97 bears at $19 each, and the second day they sold 103 at $19 each.\n\n(To quickly find the prime factorization of a number, you could take advantage of the fact that one of the factors is going to be a prime number less than the square root of the number; so for 1843, you were looking for a prime number less than 42.9 or so)

The original deck has a total area of 120ft².  The new deck has an area of 192 ft².  That's 72 ft² bigger.\n\nWe need to look at what percent of 120 is 72... Division is the key here...\n\n72/120 = .60\n\nThat means the new deck is 60% larger, hence the cost would be increased by 60% also.

They are telling you that the 8% interest on the amount financed by the bank is $600.  They are telling you what the simple interest is on the amount financed for the first month.\n\nInterest = Principle*Rate.  Assuming that the 8% interest is an annual rate, what would that be for one month?  8%/12 = 2/3% or .00666666.\n\n$600 = Principle * 2/300.  So, the amount borrowed or the principle was 600*300/2 = 90000 dollars.\n\nIf they borrowed 90000 dollars and it was 90% of the purchase price 90000 = 90%*Purchase price, that means it was a 100,000 dollar house to begin with.\n\nWe can do it backwards to check.  Start with 100,000 dollar house.  Now, make a 10% down payment and finance the rest, 90,000.\n\nThe first months payment on the interest would be 1/12 or the 8% on 90,000 or 1/12*.08*90000 = 600.  Yep, it was a 100k house.
