    If you would like to know the value of the house when it was purchased, you can calculate this using the following steps:

    115% of x is $368000

    115% * x = 368000

    115/100 * x = 368000 / * 100/115

    x = 368000 * 100 / 115

    x = $320000

    Result: The value of the house when it was purchased was $320000.

    368,000x0.15=55200

    368,000-55200=312,800

    Price before increase = $312,800
