Answer:
- increase: $19,920
- current value: $268,920
Step-by-step explanation:
8% of the original value tells you the amount of the increase:
increase = $249,000 × 0.08 = $19,920 . . . increase in value
The current value is the increase added to the original value:
$249,000 +19,920 = $268,920 . . . current house value
