8,500 * 0.0135 = 114.75
$114.75 in property tax
Think of it like this, 40 out of 100 is 40% just as 34 out of a number is 40%. So, you simply do this: 34/x=40/100, then you cross multiply and get: 40x=3400, and solve for x by dividing by 40. Giving you 85, and 34 out of 85 is 40%.
Yes because if you give them common denominators, then 7/10 stays the same and 1/2 turns into 5/10 so yes, it is larger.
