    2.13% or 2 2/15%

    The assessed value of all the property is $400,000,000. But $25,000,000 worth is exempted, leaving $400,000,000 - $25,000,000 = $375,000,000 worth of taxable property. Now we need to get $8,000,000 worth of taxes, so we simply divide the required income by the taxable property. So $8,000,000 / $375,000,000 = 0.021333333 = 2.1333333%

    Now let's see if we can convert that 0.13333 portion into an exact fraction so that the Village of Goodsprings doesn't have to round up to 2.14% and doesn't loose that small amount of income by rounding down to 2.13%.

    x = 0.133333 ...

    10x = 1.33333 ...

    - x - 0.13333

    9x = 1.2

    90x = 12

    x = 12/90 = 2/15
