    The answer is: $35,456

    Explanation:

    Capital gains = net sale price - capital improvements - original price

    net sale price = ($329,900 x 94%) - $2,750 = $310,106 - $2,750 = $307,356 capital improvements = $27,000 original price = $244,900

    Capital gains = $307,356 - $27,000 - $244,900

    Capital gains = $35,456
