The Johnsons own a home whose market value is $93,000. Their municipality taxes at 80% and the rate is 65 mills or $65 per thousand. What will the Johnsons pay in taxes?

Respuesta :

Answer:

6760

Step-by-step explanation:

80% x 93000 = 74400

74.4 x 65 = 6760

Answer: He paid $ 4836 in taxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the total value of the house = $ 93,000

And, the amount on which municipal taxes imposed = 80% of the value of house

= 80% of 93000

=  0.8 × 93000

= $ 74,400

Now, the tax rate is $65 per thousand,

⇒ [tex]\text{The amount of tax for 1000 dollars }= \$ 65[/tex],

⇒ [tex]\text{The amount of tax for 1 dollar}=\frac{65}{1000}[/tex]

⇒  [tex]\text{The amount of tax for 74400 dollars}=\frac{74400\times 65}{1000}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{4836000}{1000}[/tex]

[tex]=\$ 4836[/tex]

Thus, he paid $ 4836 in taxes.
