Question

A house in Kansas City is advertised at

$1,243,500. Brett offers $6,700 less than the
asking price. How much money did Brett offer
for the house?

Answer 1

$1,236,800

Explanation:

The problem statement tells you Brett's offer is $6700 less than the asking price. The offer is found by subtracting $6700 from the asking price:

offer = asking price - $6700

offer = $1,243,500 -6,700 = $1,236,800

Brett offered $1,236,800 for the house.
