Owner has a chance to sell 3 lots for a total sum of $96,000. Selling them separately, the owner will ask $2,000 more for Lot A than Lot B and $8,000 more for Lot B than Lot C. What price will be asked for Lot C?

Let the price of Lot C be $x$. Then, the price of Lot B is $x + 8,000$ and the price of Lot A is $x + 8,000 + 2,000 = x + 10,000$. The total sum is $x + (x + 8,000) + (x + 10,000) = 96,000$. Simplifying, $3x + 18,000 = 96,000$, so $3x = 78,000$, and $x = 26,000$.
