Accepted Solution
A:
Hi there!
In order to figure out what Zlatan's house was before the increase we can set up a proportion. We'll find 93% of the value because that is how much the house is worth minus the 7%. Then, we'll cross-multiply and finally, divide.
WORK: x/749000 = 93/100 100x = 69657000 x = $696,570
