Question

According to the Census Bureau, in October 2016, the average house price in the United States was $27,258. 6 years earlier, the average price was $20,608. What was the annual increase in the price of the average house sold?

Answer 1

Annual increase is $1,108.4

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2016, average price was $27,258.6

In 2010, average price was $20,608

Average increase in 6 years = $27,258.6 - $20,608 = $6,650.6

Annual average increase = $6650.6/6 = $1,108.4
