The property taxes on a home varies directly with the value of the home. Jack currently lives in a home worth $172,000 and pays $13,760 in taxes. How much would someone pay in property taxes if they live in a $329,000 home in the same area?

$26320

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 172000 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with x.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that 100% = 172000.

Step 4: In the same vein, x% = 13760

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

100% = 172000(1).

x% = 13760(2).

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left-hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

100% / x% = 172000 / 13760

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides sides

x% / 100% = 13760 / 172000

=> x = 8%

Therefore, 13760 is 8% of 172000.

Now, I would multiply 329,000 by 8%(or 0.08) to get the answer 26320

Hope this helps!
