Question

Sam and Lilly own a condominium where they paid $2950 in maintenance fees this year. If her property taxes are 18% of this amount, how much did Nina pay in property taxes?

Answer 1

Nina's property taxes will be $531.

We are starting with the amount of $2950. To find 18% of this amount, we just multiply the starting amount by 0.18

0.18 x 2950 = 531

The total amount of the taxes will be $531.
