Andy is wrong.
3/5 = 12/20
1/4 = 5/20
Add them up
12/20 + 5/20 = 17/20
17/20 is not equal to 4/9
Is there a picture that goes with the question ?
Answer:
<em>The total amount of tax paid for the land was $126</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Proportions</u>
The land tax charged is 0.7 per each $100 of the land value. For easy calculations, we find the ratio or proportion to be applied to the value of the land as:
0.7 / 100 =0.007
This factor can be used to obtain the tax charged for a given value of the land.
The plot of land of the question is valued at $18,000.
The tax charged is, then:
0.007*18,000 = 126
The total amount of tax paid for the land was $126
