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

1. 5514 divided by 82 you have to find out how many times 82 goes into 551 (because it won't go into 5 or 55 now 82 goes into 551 6 times and you multiply 82 and 6 to get 492 (which is the closest you can get to 551 without going over) now you subtract 551-492 to get 59 now you carry down your 4 and add it to the end of the equation and your number changes into 594 now 82 times 7 is 574 when you subtract you get 20 now you add a decimal point and you carry down the 0 to make your number 200 now you do 82 times 2 to get 164 when you subtract you get 36 now you carry down the 0 and get 360 so you multiply 82 by 4 to get 328 so your answer is 67.24.Hope this helps. I can add a picture if you need one.
