Mr. Brown owned a house, which he rented for $60 a month. The house was assessed at $9000. In 1975 the rate of taxation was incr eased from $25 to $28 per $1000 assessed valuation. By what amount should the monthly rent have been raised to absorb the increase in that year's taxes?
1 answer:
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

Step-by-step explanation:
write all numerators above the common denominator 20
14+5/20
19/20
A = 1/2 bh A = 1/2 (21)(8) A = 1/2 (168) A = 84
The unit rate is $8/hr and the equation for y would be y=2x. The slope would be 8
If AD is a diagonal and the length is 24 BD is given by Pythagoras √26²-24²=√676-576=√100=10 answer A.
