Land tax is charged at the rate of S0.70 per
$100.00 value. What is the TOTAL amount
of tax paid for the land?​

Answer 1

$126

Explanation:

The plot of land is worth $18,000 and the tax on the land is $0.70 per $100. You would divide 18000 by 100 which is 180. Then you would multiply 180*0.70 which is $126.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Here, given that;

The total value of land us $18000.00

tax per $100.00 is $0.70

now,

$100.00 taxes $0.70

$18000.00 taxes ($18000.00÷100)/$0.70 (as in question given that the tax is charged in each $100)

= $126.

is the required tax amount.

Hope it helps..
