2. The assessed value of Patty's residential property was $200,000 in 2004. In 2006, the
assessed value increased to $225,000. The property tax rate in both years was 1.2 percent.
Patty earned $60,000 each year.
a) Determine Patty's property taxes for 2004 by calculating 1.2 percent of $200,000 (multiply by 0.012), and then
determine her taxes for 2006 by calculating 1.2 percent of $225,000. Subtract the 2004 tax figure from the 2006
amount. How much more did Patty have to pay for her property tax in 2006 than in 2004?

  B. Solution

Explanation:  According to the question statement, Susan wrote in her notebook that it was a blue liquid. Therefore, from a chemistry point of view, it was a solution and not a heterogeneous mixture. Then, the solvent was evaporated after leaving the solution for 72 hours at the windowsill. The solute (blue color most likely) however was not able to evaporate with solvent and left behind.

Example: if you leave the KMnO4+water solution for a few days, water will evaporate thus leaving behind purple crystals of KMnO4.
