question 207

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The following figure represents the average hourly wage for employees of MegaMart from 1980 to 2005.
Let $y$ represent the hourly wage and let $x$ represent the year, where $x = 0$ corresponds to the year $198 C$ $x = 1$ represents 1981 , and so on. Then the average wage can be approximated by the equation $y = 0.17 x + 3.02$ , where $0 \leq x \leq 25$ . Use the linear equation to approximate the average wage for the year 1,985 and compare it to the act wage of $\$ 3.75$ per hour.

• A) \(\$ 3.02\) per hour; the calculated wage was \(\$ 0.73\) less than the actual wage.
• B) \(\$ 3.87\) per hour; the calculated wage was \(\$ 0.12\) more than the actual wage.
• C) \(\$ 3.02\) per hour; the calculated wage was \(\$ 0.17\) more than the actual wage.
• D) \(\$ 4.72\) per hour; the calculated wage was \(\$ 0.97\) more than the actual wage.
