Question

if a man originally payed $3300 in property taxes, what will his new tax payment be if he saves 9% this year?

Answer 1

$3003

Explanation:

Set it up as an fraction

9/100 = x/3300

Cross multiply

100x = 29700

Simplify

100x/100 = 29700/100

Isolate the x

x = 297

297 is how much they will save this year. To find out how much he will pay subtract x from his original payment.

3300 - 297 = $3003

Hope this makes sense.
