Here,
In 1970, median price of House sold = 22 thousand of Dollars
In 1975, median price of House sold = 38 thousand of Dollars
Therefore, the percent increase in the median price = \((\frac{{38 - 22 }}{22}) * 100 = 72\)% = approx \(70\) %

formula is percentage change = ((final value - initial value)/initial)*100
here final value is 1975 = 39000
initial value is = 1970 = 23000
sub in formula
= ((39000-23000)/23000)*100
= (0.6956)*100
= 69.56 nearly equal to 70%
