Answer 2

$ 207,294

Explanation:

We have an equation to calculate the cost in dollars of raising a child in the United States which is:

Y = 1.55X + 110,419

Where:

Y is the total cost in dollars

X is the income of the household

We know that X = $62,500

We have to substitute X in the equation:

Y = 1.55*62,500 + 110,419

Now we have to solve the equation:

Y = 96,875 + 110,419

Y = 207, 294 dollars
