If I put 10211.14 for a down payment on my house, and my down payment is 4 percent, how much did my house cost?

Question

Math problem. Please explain how you got the answer.

Answer 1

4% of the house is 10211.14.

What is 100% value of the house. 

If we can find out what is 1% value than we just have to multiply the 1% value by 100 to get the cost of the house.

 

1% of the house is 10211.14/4 =2552.78

100% of the house is 2552.78 * 100 = 255,278.
