Question

The stem-and-leaf plot above shows house sale prices over the last week in Tacoma. What was the most expensive house sold? Give your answer in dollars

Answer 1

Answer:  360,000

Delete the comma if necessary.

Explanation

Locate the largest stem which is "3". This refers to houses in the 300,000 dollar range. The largest leaf attached to this stem is "6" and refers to 60,000 extra dollars on top of the 300,000.

So the most expensive house would be 300,000+60,000 = 360,000 dollars

Delete the comma if necessary. Do not type in the dollar sign.
