Total tax for the year = 22,500 x 4% = 900
As stated Annual tax is prorated as per the duration of stay.
Prorated Tax = 900 (8/12) = 600

Total tax for the 12 months: $22,500 * 4% =$900

6 months of taxes: $450 The prompt asks for the total taxes paid for 8 months. If 6 months of taxes is$450, 8 months would have to be a little bit more than $450. The next value up from$450 is \$600.
