K & R Builders build three models of houses, M₁, M₂, and M₃, in three subdivisions I, II, and III located in three different areas of a city. The prices of the homes (in thousands of dollars) are given in matrix A.

M₁

M₃

	370	380	380
	450	440	450
	660	630	680

The new price schedule for next year, reflecting a uniform percentage increase in each house, is given by matrix B.

What was the percentage increase in the prices of the houses? Hint: Find r such that (1 + 0.01r)A = B.
