What was your cost for garbage and recycling pickup for 1999?

1999 Cost = 2.77 Mills + $2 per month (1Mill= $1per $1000 SEV taxable )

1999 Cost = .00277 * SEV taxable + $24

What will be your cost for garbage and recycling pickup for 2000?

2000 Cost= $10.25 per month

2000 Cost= $123

Now we set 1999 Cost equal to the 2000 Cost and this will tell what SEV taxable will have the same costs for 1999 and 2000.

1999 Cost = 2000 Cost

Use algebra to solve for SEV taxable

0.00277*SEV taxable + $24 = $123

0.00277*SEV taxable = $99

SEV taxable = $35,740
