of the parcel in feet?

Known dimension = 660 ft.
TOTAL area is 30 acres, or 30 x 43,560 = 1,306,800 sq ft.
To find one dimension of a rectangle when total area and other dimension are known,
divide the known dimensions into the total area.

commission was deducted from the sales price. What was the list price?
A. $95,400
B. $95,745

D. 13.48%.
C
Monthly interest of $132.28 x 12 = yearly interest of $1,587.36
interest earned (part) / principal (whole) = rate
$1,587.36 / $17,835 = 0.089, or 8.9%
7. On a 70-foot-by-70-foot rectangular lot, the side yard building setbacks are 10
feet. The front yard setback is 25 feet, and the rear set back is 20 feet. What is the
maximum square footage possible for a one-story structure?
A. 1,000
B. 1,200
C. 1,250
D. 4,900
C
Building maximum width is 50 feet because there are 10-ft setbacks on each side.
Maximum depth is 25 ft because front yard and rear yard setbacks total 45 ft (70 ft - 45
ft). Multiply width (50 ft) by depth (25 ft) to find square footage
, 8. J purchased 4 lots at $12,000 each and divided them into 6 lots that were sold
for $9,600 each. What was J's percentage of profit based on his cost?
A. 6%
B. 12%
C. 20%
D. 24%
C
Four lots at $12,000 each = $48,000 cost
6 lots at $9,600 each = $57,600 selling price
$57,600 - $48,000 = $9,600 profit.
To find percentage, divide the net by the cost:
$9,600 (net) / $48,000 (cost) = 0.02, of 20%
9. K purchased a property for $175,000. K wishes to sell the property. If the total
selling costs will equal 11 percent of the sales price, how much will the property
have to appreciate in value for K to break even?
A. $19,612
B. $20,311
C. $21,629
D. $23,730
C
To break even, the sales price must be $175,000 plus 11% of the sales price, so
$175,000 = 89% of the sales price
$175,000 (part) / 0.89 (rate) = $196,629
Sales price $196,629. But the question asks for appreciation, so $196,629 - $175,000 =
$21,629
