Question

A. 64.8B. 648C. 6480D. 592.75

Answer 1

option b.

Explanation:

His property measured length and width = 80 × 135

(Since unit of measurement is not given in the question, so we assume the unit of dimension is in feet.)

Total area of his property = 80 × 135 = 10800 feet²

The cost of property assessed by the city per square foot = 6 cents

the special assessment cost of the property = 10800 × 6

= 64800 cents

Converting cents into Dollars

1 Dollar = 100 cents

64800 cents =
`(64800)/(100)`

= 648 dollars

Option B. $648
