The problem you've provided reads as follows:

**Text & Tests 3:**
An estate agent charges a 3.75% fee on the sale price of a house.

(i) **Find his fee** if a house is sold for €450,000 and VAT at 20% on this fee is added on.

(ii) **Find the selling price of a house** if the fees are €2,775 before VAT is added.

---

### Part (i) - Find the Fee (Including VAT)
1. Estate agent fee is 3.75% of €450,000.
2. Add VAT at 20% to the fee.

Steps:
- Calculate the estate agent fee:  
  Fee = \( 450,000 \times \frac{3.75}{100} \)
- Calculate the VAT:  
  VAT = \( \text{Fee} \times \frac{20}{100} \)
- The total fee (including VAT) = Fee + VAT

### Part (ii) - Find the Selling Price (Given Fee)
1. The fee before VAT is €2,775.
2. This fee represents 3.75% of the selling price.
3. Find the selling price before VAT is added.

Steps:
- Let the selling price be \( x \).  
  The fee before VAT = \( x \times \frac{3.75}{100} = 2,775 \)
- Solve for \( x \):
