City Demographics: Total population: 9,961 Male: 46.2% Female: 53.8%

Hi Weiqing,

For the first problem:

1) We are given that the total tax amount is $519.26. Of that total, $80 were watershed taxes. \(\frac{80}{519.26} * 100 = 15.4%\) which does not equal 2.7%. The answer is No.

2) The couples' assessed valuation on tab 3 is $7,940. On tab 2 (taxation sources) we are told that all taxes are figured on a 10% base of the fair market value of personal including certain outbuildings, vehicles, livestock, and other non-real-estate property. This means that we can take \(\frac{$7940}{0.1} = $79,400\) to find the total fair market value of their personal property. The answer is yes, because $79,400 > $75,000.

3) On tab 3 the personal property that is listed is two trucks and a boat, all of these are vehicles. No other personal property is listed. The answer is No.

For the second problem:

We are given that their rent is $505 and that the median rent (tab 1) in the city is $543. \(\frac{$505}{$543}=0.93001\) which is closest to D (93%).
