In order to begin advertising the single family homes, Bert asks Abigail to figure out the cost of each home, based on the company’s costs to build the entire development. After some additional adjustments, Abigail came up with the formula C space equals space 600 x space plus space 220 for the total cost C (in millions of dollars) for the development, where x is the average cost (in millions of dollars) of a single family home.

What is the average cost of a single family home if the total cost, C, is 370 million dollars? Express your answer in dollars.

It would help if you proofread your questions before you posted them.

Online, “*” is used to indicate multiplication to avoid confusion with “x” as an unknown.

Where does x belong?

C = 600 * ? + 220

C = 600 * (? + 220)

C=600x+220 for the total cost C (in millions of dollars) for the development, where x is the average cost (in millions of dollars) of a single family home.

I didn’t release I didn’t write the equation out.

To find the average cost of a single family home, we need to rearrange the formula provided and solve for x.

The formula given is C = 600x + 220, where C represents the total cost in millions of dollars and x represents the average cost of a single family home in millions of dollars.

Given that the total cost, C, is 370 million dollars, we can substitute that value into the formula and solve for x:

370 = 600x + 220

Subtracting 220 from both sides of the equation:

370 - 220 = 600x

150 = 600x

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 600:

150 / 600 = x

Simplifying:

0.25 = x

Therefore, the average cost of a single family home is 0.25 million dollars, or $250,000.
