Let us assume the tax rate per dollar = x
Amount of money needed as tax = $915000
Assesses property value = $14000000
Then
14000000 * x = 915000
x = 915000/14000000
= 0.065 dollars
From the above deduction it can be concluded that the correct option among all the options that aregiven in the question is option "C".
