Question 34 • 26-27 Ignite Technical Math-Financial Math - MA2007

You purchase a home for $125,000. The value of the property increases by 1.9% every year. After ten years, you decide to sell the home. In the meantime, you have made renovations and improvements to the house which increase its sale value by $48,300. How much will you sell the house for, to the nearest hundred dollars?

Answer
A
$257,500
B
$209,200
C
$150,900
D
$199,200

Explanation

The home’s value grows by 1.9% each year, so after 10 years its value is $125,000 × (1.019)^10, or about $150,900. Add the $48,300 in value from renovations: $150,900 + $48,300 ≈ $199,200. The correct choice is $199,200.
