The answer is B.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option b. $11,542.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The assessed value of the property = $95,000

The property tax rate = 12.15%

The property tax = 12.15% of $95,000

                            = $\frac{12.15}{100}\times 95,000$

                            = 0.1215 × 95,000

                            = $11,542.50

The property tax on a home would be $11,542.50.
