Answer 1

To find the value of \( f(27) \), we can substitute \( x = 27 \) into the function \( f(x) = 24(x + 16) \).

\[ f(27) = 24(27 + 16) \]

Now, calculate \( 27 + 16 \):

\[ 27 + 16 = 43 \]

Now, substitute \( 43 \) back into the function:

\[ f(27) = 24 \times 43 \]

Next, calculate \( 24 \times 43 \):

\[ 24 \times 43 = 1032 \]

So, the value of \( f(27) \) is \( 1,032 \).

The correct response is:

$1,032
