We first calculate the percentage increase on the tax

Old value = 25×9 = 225 ⇒ The value 9 represents the 9 lots of thousands of the house's value
New value = 28×9 = 252

Increase in tax = 252 - 225 =27  
Percentage increase = (27÷225) ×100 = 12%

The amount of yearly rent would be then increased by 12%

Monthly rent = $60
Yearly rent = 60×12 = $720
Increase by 12% = 720×1.12 = 806.4 ⇒ The value 1.12 is the multiplier, obtained from 100%+12%=112%=1.12

The monthly rent is 806.4÷12 = $67.20 which is an increase of $7.20 per month

Answer:

28, 30, 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Three consecutive even numbers are three even numbers that are next to each other. For example, 2, 4 and 6 would be 3 consecutive even numbers.

With this sort of problem, you want to try to let each number be equal to one thing and then construct the same number of equations as you have variables:

Let's let,

Integer 1 = X

Integer 2 = Y

Integer 3 = Z

X + Y + Z = 90

We also know, that

Y = X + 2

And that

Z = X + 4

Now, we can sub these equations into the first equation. We do this so that we have everything represented as the same variable.

90 = X + (X+2) + (X+4)

90 = 3X  + 6

84 = 3X

28 = X

So, the numbers are 28, 30 and 32
