Question

To answer this question we must use Solve for x. So, if a $910,000 property had a tax of 20,020, $$\frac{ x $}{ 950,000$ } = \frac{ 20,020 $}{ 910,000$ }$$

$$x = \frac{ 20,020 $}{ 910,000$ } \times \frac{ 950,000 }{ 1 }$$

$$x = \frac{ $19,019,000.00 }{ 910,000}$$

$$X =\frac{ 20,900 }{ 1}$$
