In Seattle, the tax on a property assessed at $570,000 is $12,540. If tax rates are proportional in this city, how much would the tax be on a property assessed at $460,000?

Respuesta :

12,540 / 570,000 = x / 460,000
cross multiply
570,000x = 5768400000
x = 5768400000 / 570,000
x = 10,120 <=== tax on 460,000
