The town of Mayville taxes property at a rate of $42 for each $1,000 of estimated value. What is the estimated value of a property on which the owner owes $5,250 in property tax?
Answer: C - A property with a tax of $5,250 would be valued at $125,000. This can be solved with a ratio, in which $5,250 is 0.42% of the total estimated value of the property. This is calculated directly from the tax rate, which is $42/$1000, or a rate of 0.042.
