A house on the market was valued at $359,000. After several years, the value increased by 9%
. By how much did the house's value increase in dollars? What is the current value of the house?

To determine how much the house's value increased and its current value, we can follow these steps:

1. **Find the amount of increase**:
   \[
   \text{Increase in value} = \text{Original value} \times \frac{\text{Percentage increase}}{100}
   \]
   \[
   \text{Increase in value} = 359,000 \times \frac{9}{100} = 359,000 \times 0.09 = 32,310
   \]

2. **Find the current value of the house**:
   \[
   \text{Current value} = \text{Original value} + \text{Increase in value}
   \]
   \[
   \text{Current value} = 359,000 + 32,310 = 391,310
   \]

### Final Answer:
- The house's value increased by **$32,310**.
- The current value of the house is **$391,310**.
