Question
Your company asked you to analyze the investment of their advertising campaign. You create a scatterplot graph of the advertising dollars spent on advertising, x
, and compare it to the revenue generated, y
, for January to December of the campaign. You find the equation of the trend line to be y=2.53x+43
. Predict the revenue generated if your company invests $200.00 in advertising. Write the revenue in dollars and cents.(1 point)
The revenue generated for a $200.00 investment in advertising is $

Answer 1

To predict the revenue generated from a $200.00 investment in advertising using the trend line equation $y=2.53x+43$, we can substitute $x=200$ into the equation.

$$y=2.53(200)+43$$

Calculating this step-by-step:

1. Calculate $2.53\times 200$: $$2.53\times 200=506$$

2. Now, add 43 to the result: $$506+43=549$$

So, the predicted revenue generated from a $200.00 investment in advertising is $\mathbf{549.00}$.

Thus, the revenue generated for a $200.00 investment in advertising is $549.00.
