A statistician develops a model to determine a company's monthly online sales based on the amount it spends on online advertising. Using this model y=128.9+171.5x , how much should the company expect in monthly online sales if it spends $350.00 on online advertising? (1 point) $60,153.90 $300.40 $45,286.50 $60,025.00

1 answer

To determine the expected monthly online sales based on the amount spent on online advertising using the given model \( y = 128.9 + 171.5x \), we need to substitute \( x \) with the amount the company spends on online advertising.

Here, \( x = 350 \) (the amount spent on online advertising):

\[ y = 128.9 + 171.5(350) \]

Now, calculate \( 171.5 \times 350 \):

\[ 171.5 \times 350 = 59,025 \]

Next, add this to 128.9:

\[ y = 128.9 + 59,025 = 59,153.9 \]

Thus, the expected monthly online sales if the company spends $350 on online advertising is:

\[ y = 59,153.9 \]

None of the provided options exactly match, but if we round this value, the closest option to \( 59,153.9 \) is \( $60,025.00 \).

Therefore, the answer is: $60,025.00.
