    The correct answer is ($596.93 with a year of 360 days) or ($588.75 with a year of 365 days)

    Explanation:

    First step: Divide the annual property taxes into the number of days in a year.

    $1,776 : 360 days = 4.9333 (price per day, With a year of 360 days)

    $1,776 : 365 days = 4.8657 (price per day, With a year of 365 days)

    Second step: Multiply the price per day by the number of days of the closing, for this case May 1

    Jan = 31 days

    Feb = 28 days

    March = 31 days

    April = 30 days

    May = 30 days (but the closing is on 1 May, for this month, count just 1 day)

    = 31 (Jan) + 28 (Feb) + 31 (March) + 30 (April) + 1 (May) = 121 days until May 1

    Third step: Price per day x number of days until closing

    $4.9333 x 121 days = $ 596.93

    $4.8657 x 121 days = $ 588.75
