Question

A homeowner receives a tax bill that includes an amount for the school district, taxed at $9.00 per $1,000, and the fire protection district, taxed at $3.00 per $1,000. How much does the taxpayer have to pay for those two items if the property’ Taxable value is $336,000?

Answer 1

School tax:

`x = (336000 / 1000) * 9.00 \\ x = 336 * 9.00 \\ x = 3024`
fire tax:

`(336000 / 1000) * 3.00 \\ x = 336 * 3.00 \\ x = 1008`
