Question


The Townsend Realty Group invested in the five different properties listed in the table above. The table shows the amount, in dollars, the company paid for each property and the corresponding monthly rental price, in dollars, the company charges for the property at each of the five locations.
Townsend Realty purchased the Glenview Street property and received a 40% discount off the original price along with an additional 20% off the discounted price for purchasing the property in cash. Which of the following best approximates the original price, in dollars, of the Glenview Street property?

  1. $350,000
  2. $291,700
  3. $233,300
  4. $175,000

The correct answer is: $291,700


    • For solving the above question,
    Let x be the original price, in dollars, of the Glenview Street property.
    • After the 40% discount, the price of the property became 0.6x dollars
    • And after the additional 20% off the discounted price, the price of the property became 0.8(0.6x).
    • Thus, in terms of the original price of the property, x, the purchase price of the property is 0.48x.
    •  It follows that
    0.48x = 140,000.
    Solving this equation for x gives
    x = 291,666.6 .
    • Therefore, of the given choices, $291,700 best approximates the original price of the Glenview Street property.
    • Option A is incorrect because it is the result of dividing the purchase price of the property by 0.4, as though the purchase price were 40% of the original price.
    • Option C is incorrect because it is the closest to dividing the purchase price of the property by 0.6, as though the purchase price were 60% of the original price.
    • Option D is incorrect because it is the result of dividing the purchase price of the property by 0.8, as though the purchase price were 80% of the original price.

    Note:
    Whenever we encounter a square root while solving an equation, our first attempt should be to somehow remove the square root by squaring both sides and get a simpler equation to solve. Another way to find the value of x which satisfies the equation would be to simply put the values in the options in the equation and check if it is satisfied
