Question

the property tax on a house os .9818 per $100. find the annual property tax on a house valued at $250,000

Answer 1

Given :

the property tax on a house is 0.9818 per $100.

if the value of the house = $250,000, the tax = x

So,

`\begin{gathered} 0.9818\colon100=x\colon250000 \\ \\ (0.9818)/(100)=(x)/(250000) \end{gathered}`

solve for x :

`x=250000\cdot(0.9818)/(100)=2454.5`

so, the answer is : the annual tax = $2,454.5
