Nina's monthly budget is $2,250. every month she makes the following payments: $175 for insurance $129 for utilities $283 for taxes which is the highest house payment she can afford?

$1663 is the maximum house payment that Nina can afford.

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount spent by Nina on insurance = $175

Amount spent by Nina on utilities = $129

Amount spent by Nina on taxes = $283

Total money spent by Nina = 175 + 129 + 283

                                              = $587

Monthly budget of Nina = $2250

Maximum amount that Nina can spent on house payment = 2250 - 587

                                                                                                 = $1663

Hence, $1663 is the maximum house payment that Nina can afford.

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
