Question

Let the equation c = 2.32 n + 34,180 represent the cost of raising a child, c, on an income, n. if the corlone family has an income of $40,000 annually, what is the expect cost of raising a child?

Answer 1

The answer is 126,980

Explanation: In order to get the answer, you must first multiply 2.32 by the income (40,000)

2.32 x 40,000= 92,800.

Now you must add the 34,180---> 92,800+34,180= 126,980

Answer 2

Since the equation C = 2.32N + 34,180 where C is the cost of raising a child and N is the income. So, if the Corlone family has an income of $40,000, you use the value of N to solve for C:

C = 2.32(40,000) + 34,180

C = 92,800 + 34,180

C = $126,980

Answer: C = $126,980
