Respuesta :

Answer: 187500

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest= principal ×rate×time/100

Let interest be I

Principal be P

Rate be r

Time be t

So we have

I=p×r×t/100

P in the question is 150000

T is 1year

R is 25%

Substitute for the values

I=150000×1×25/100

Interest= 37500

To know the exact cost now

Add the interest to the principal cost

Exact value=interest +principal

Exact value =37500+150000

Exact value=187500

The cost of the house now is=187500

The answer is 187500
