Answer 1

Answer:

Total amount of tax to be paid for the land =   $126 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a Plot of land is valued at $18000.00 and the land tax is charged at a rate of $0.70 per $100 land value.

Now, using unitary method ;

  Amount of tax charged for $100 value of land = $0.70

  Amount of tax charged for $1 value of land = $0.70 ÷ $100

  Amount of tax charged for $18000 value of land = $\frac{0.70}{100}* 18000$ = $0.70 * 180$

                                                                                                          = $126

Therefore, Total amount of tax to be paid for the land = $126.
