a.
Let $x be the amount Mr Lee paid for the flat,

x (1 - 0.35)(1.1)^2 = 3200000
x (0.65)(1.21) = 3200000
0.7865 x = 3200000
x = 4070000, correct to the nearest ten thousand dollars

Therefore, the amount paid by Mr Lee for the flat is $4070000


b.
Percentage change in flat price:
(3200000 - 4070000) / 4070000 = - 21%, correct to 2 sig. fig.
