Question

in Dallas the tax property assessed at $310,000 is $6,510. If tax rates are proportional in this city, how much would the tax be on a property at $910,000?

Answer 1

Given:

a.) The tax property assessed at $310,000 is $6,510

To be able to determine the tax rate on a $910,000 property, we will be applying ratios and proportions.

We get,

$\text{ \ 310,00 : \ 6,510 = \ 910,00 : x}$

Where,

x = the tax rate

$\text{ \ 310,00 : \ 6,510 = \ 910,00 : x}$$\text{ }\frac{\text{ \ 310,000}}{\text{ \ }6,510}\text{ = }\frac{\text{ \ 910,000}}{x}$$\text{ x = }\frac{\text{ (\ 910,000)(\ 6,510)}}{\text{ \ 310,000}}$$\text{ x = \ 19,110}$

Therefore, the tax rate on the $910,000 property is $19,110.
