Say that you own property with a market price of $74,000. The state tax assessors have given it an assessed value of 48% of that amount. If your state’s property tax rate is 0.031, how much do you owe in property tax, to the nearest dollar?

Answer
A
$1,101
B
$2,294
C
$35,520
D
$1,193

Explanation

First find the assessed value: $74,000 × 0.48 = $35,520. Then multiply by the tax rate: $35,520 × 0.031 = $1,101.12. Rounded to the nearest dollar, the property tax is $1,101, choice A.
