Real Estate Math
A property is assessed at 10% of its $480,000 market value. The tax rate is $9.50 per $100 of assessed value. What is the annual tax?
A$4,560✓ Correct
B$4,800
C$45,600
D$456
Explanation
Assessed value = $480,000 × 10% = $48,000. Tax = ($48,000 / $100) × $9.50 = 480 × $9.50 = $4,560. To solve this, multiply the relevant values: $480,000 and $9.50 at 10%.. The correct answer is $4,560.. This is a common calculation on the Arizona real estate exam.
