The tax on a property with an assessed value of $90,000 is $1,200. What is the assessed value of a property if the tax is $2,200?

I'm not 100% sure but this is how I would try.
If you don't get a better answer, check this w/your teacher.

x/100 *90,000 = 1200

90,000x = 120,000

x = 1.3% tax percentage

1.3/100x = 2200

1.3x = 220,000

x = $169,230.77 assessed value
