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:
D. |C -305,000| ≤ 80,000
Step-by-step 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
