Answer 1

In Tacoma, the tax on a property assessed at $570,000 is $11,400. If tax rates are proportional in this city,

how much would the tax be on a property assessed at $670,000?

Applying proportion

11,400/570,000=x/670,000

solve for x

x=(11,400/570,000)*670,000

x=$13,400

answer is $13,400
