The tax on a property with an assessed value of

$63,000

is

$950.  

Using a​ proportion, find the tax on a property with an assessed value of $105,000.

Answer rounded to 2 decimal places

Answer 1

Assuming the tax for a $63,000 property is the same for a $105,000 property (usually it isn't), then your proportion will be 950/63,000 = x/105,000. Solve for x.
