Question

In Dallas, the tax on a property assessed at $960,000 is $19,200. If tax rates are proportional in this city, how much would the tax be on a property assessed at $630,000?Choose the proportion that could be used to solve this problem.

Answer 1

According to the question, we can establish the following relations

`\begin{gathered} 960000\to19200 \\ 630000\to x \end{gathered}`

This is equivalent to

`(19200)/(960000)=(x)/(630000)`

The answer is the third option (top to bottom).
