    The average price of a new home in 2000 was $ 268,927 (rounding to the next dollar)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's find out the average price of a new home in 2000, this way:

    x = Average price of a new home in 2000

    Increase rate = 77% = 0.77

    476,000 = Average price of a new home in 2016

    2. What was the average price of a new home in 2000?

    x + 0.77x = 476,000

    1.77x = 476,000

    x = 476,000/1.77

    x = 268,927 (rounding to the next dollar)
