Tuesday Feb 22 Assignment

Hi Folks,
Today we worked on calculating how much property tax will be on specifically valued homes.  The formula is

Property Tax = Portioned Assessment  x  mill rate
                                   1000

Remember that the portioned assessment is 45% of the value of the home.

Also from grade 11 you must recall that to calculate the mill rate you must use the following formula:

Mill Rate = total amount of $ to be raised  x  1000
                      Total value of all homes

Today's assignment was page 155 questions 1 to 10

Statement and demand assignment

This assignment is for Wednesday Feb 23 and Thursday's assignment will be on the same topic but from the textbook; Page 164 Questions 1-8. You will need some statement and demand forms for the textbook assignment as well.
