Answer 1

Answer:

The property tax is $1008.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

All property tax in Wyoming is based on the assessed value of the property being taxed.

The assessed value of a hotel is $84,000.

Tax rate is 1.2%.

Now, to find the property tax.

Property tax = Tax rate of the property assessed value.

$Property\ tax =1.2\%\ of\ \ 84,000.$

$Property\ tax=\frac{1.2}{100}\times 84000.$

$Property\ tax=\frac{100800}{100}$

$Property\ tax=\ 1008.$

Therefore, the property tax is $1008.
