Answer: $252,000

Explanation:

Property worth $275,000, 4 weeks ago had 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.

House to be appraised has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms meaning it has one less bathroom than the other house.

Value of bathroom is $15,000 so;

= 275,000 - 15,000

= $260,000

House to be appraised was worth $260,000 4 weeks ago.

Prices have been reducing at $2,000 per week for four weeks.

= 2,000 * 4

= 8,000

Value of house = 260,000 - 8,000

= $252,000
