To find the cost of Mary's assessment, you will need to find the part of the project that applies to her property.

This would be 38 feet of the 200 total feet.

38 divided by 200 = 0.19 or 19%

19% of the cost would be Mary's assessment.

0.19 x 7000 = $1330.

$1330 is the cost of Mary's assessment.
