Answer 1

155000/1700
Approximately $91.18

Answer 2

Answer:

The cost per square foot is $91.176...

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the house = 1700 sq. ft.

Total sales price= $155000

Suppose, the cost per square foot = $x$ dollar.

So, the equation will be......

$1700x= 155000\\ \\ x= \frac{155000}{1700}\\ \\ x=91.176...$

Thus, the cost per square foot is $91.176...
