For this case we have the following system of two equations with two unknowns:
Adding both equations we have to eliminate the variable "x":
Adding common terms, keeping in mind that different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:
Answer:
Option A
Answer:
$907.38
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Mr. Smith's $85,000 condominium is assessed at 35% of value.
First of all, we will find 35% of $85,000 as shown below:
We are also told that the tax rate is $2.70 per $100 of value. Now we will divide $29,750 by 100 as:
Since the tax rate is increased by $0.35 per $100 of value, so the new tax rate will be $2.70 plus $0.35.
Therefore, Mr. Smith's new tax will be $907.38.
