Before the recent housing boom, there were 2,447 houses in Sullivan County. Now, there are 2,710 houses. How many houses did developers build during the housing boom?

Answer 1

To find out how many houses developers built during the housing boom, you can subtract the number of houses before the boom from the number after the boom.

Number of houses before the boom = 2,447 Number of houses after the boom = 2,710

Houses built during the boom = Number after the boom - Number before the boom Houses built during the boom = 2,710 - 2,447

Houses built during the boom = 263

Therefore, developers built 263 houses during the housing boom.
