With Proposition 13, if you bought your house 11 years ago for $75,000, your property tax would be approximately $914 a year (1 percent of $75,000 increased by 2 percent each year for 11 years); and if your neighbor bought an identical house next door to you for $200,000 this year, his tax would be $2,000 (1 percent of $200,000). Without Proposition 13, both you and your neighbor would pay $6,000 a year in property taxes (3 percent of $200,000).

Which of the following is the conclusion for which the author most likely is arguing in the passage above?

(A) Proposition 13 is unconstitutional because it imposes an unequal tax on properties of equal value.

(B) If Proposition 13 is repealed, every homeowner is likely to experience a substantial increase in property taxes.

(C) By preventing inflation from driving up property values, Proposition 13 has saved homeowners thousands of dollars in property taxes.

(D) If Proposition 13 is not repealed, identical properties will continue to be taxed at different rates.（B）

(E) Proposition 13 has benefited some homeowners more than others.

怎么了?

有13 在, 你pay 914/year, 你的邻居pay 2000 /year,

没有13, 你和邻居都pay 6000/year,

所以If Proposition 13 is repealed, every homeowner is likely to experience a substantial increase in property taxes

一看到这么多$数字就FT了

再问问，这句话的意思With Proposition 13, if you bought your house 11 years ago for $75,000, your property tax would be approximately $914 a year (1 percent of $75,000 increased by 2 percent each year for 11 years);

怎么个算法？

有没人知道这个算法是怎么回事啊？第一个是怎么回事啊？谢谢，怎么一直没人回答？

哎呀，其实不需要搞清楚算法...明白数字大小关系就成了...

如果非要搞清楚，大概是这样：1 percent of $75,000 就是$750啦，这是买房当年应付税款...税制假设inflation rate通货膨胀率每年2%吧，（p.s.我还以为他会用复利计算，居然是单利...），11年后就是750*（1+2%*11）=750*1.22等于915，至于他为什么写914...我也不解...美国人的数字经常是大概就好...不精确...
