In New York, a tax of $15,620 is owed on a property whose value is $710,000. If tax rates are
proportional in this city, find what the tax would be on a property whose value is $310,000.
Give your answer rounded to the nearest dollar (no cents).

Respuesta :

To find the standard taxation percentage , divide the tax amount by the property value (15620/710000) and multiply that by 100, the percentage is 2.2%. Now, multiply $310000 by 2.2% and that will be your answer ($6820)
