Nelly is very pleased with the painting she bought at the auction. She tells her daughter that she outbid her rival Joe by paying $2000 more than thrice his bid. If Joe’s bid was $160,000, at how much did Nelly get the painting?
Nelly is very pleased with the painting she bought at the auction. She tells her daughter that she outbid her rival Joe by paying $[AMOUNT] more than thrice his bid. If Joe’s bid was $[AMOUNT], at how much did Nelly get the painting?
Three times Joe’s bid is 3 * 160000 = <<3*160000=480000>>480000 dollars
Since Nelly paid an additional $2000, she paid 2000 + 480000 = <<2000+480000=482000>>482000 dollars.
#### 482000
