Question

The average cost of a home in a certain neighborhood ranges from $225,000 to $385,000. Write an absolute value inequality to model the average cost, C. of a home in this neighborhood.

Answer 1

D. |C -305,000| ≤ 80,000

Explanation:

Such an equation will say that the difference from the average of these values is at most half of their difference.

| C -(225000+385000)/2 | ≤ (385000 -225000)/2

|C -305,000| ≤ 80,000 . . . . . matches choice D
