#175000.00# GBP

So we must begin with a rule that is commonly used to work this out.

#16%=28000# so we can also say #100%=x#

Then from here the rule says that you do #(100xx28000)/16#

So if we do that we get a result of #175000#

That is the price of the home.

#x=175000.00# GBP

Hope this helped you out :)
