Question

The equation y = 15.7x + 459 can be used to predict the cost of renting a studio apartment in a certain housing complex, where x is the number of years since 2005.

What if the best prediction for the cost of renting a studio apartment in this complex in 2025?

A.314.00
B.392.50
C.773.00
D.851.50

Answer 1

C.773.00

Explanation:

x= 2025-2005= 20

y = 15.7x + 459

y = 15.7(20) + 459

y = 314+ 459 = $773.00

Answer 2

Option (C) is correct

The cost of renting a studio apartment in this complex in 2025 will be $773.00

Explanation:

Given : The equation y = 15.7x + 459 can be used to predict the cost of renting a studio apartment in a certain housing complex, where x is the number of years since 2005.

We have to calculate the cost of renting a studio apartment in this complex in 2025

Consider the given equation y = 15.7x + 459 ,

x is the number of years since 2005.

Since, we have to find the cost of renting the complex in year 2025.

Number of years from 2005 to 2025 is

2025 - 2005 = 20

Thus, the cost will be find by putting x = 20 in given equation

so, y = 15.7(20) + 459 = 773

Thus, the cost of renting a studio apartment in this complex in 2025 will be $773.00

Thus, Option (C) is correct.
