Answer:

63350

Explanation:

Given that the current average property value is two-sevenths more than last year’s average value.

Let x be the last year's average property

Then we have as per the given information this year property value

=
x+(2)/(7) x

Equate this to

$x+(2)/(7) x=81450\\9x = 7(81450)\\x = 7(9050)\\x= 63350$
