<h3>Hi, to answer this question we have to write a proportion.</h3><h3>Proportion = square feet/ cost</h3><h3>Since a 1425 square feet shop cost 45600 to lease, the proportion is equal to: 1425/45600</h3><h3>For a 1820 square feet shop: 1820/x</h3><h3>Where x is the cost per year for leasing a 1820 square feet shop</h3><h3>1425ft/\$456000=1820ft/\$x</h3><h3>1425/456000 = 1820 / x</h3><h3>Solving for x:</h3><h3>x = 1820/(1425/456000)</h3><h3>x=\$582,400</h3>
The answer would be 3.7406 × 10^17. Because when multiplying the constant you would get 37.406 and then you add the exponent and add one more since only one decimal can be over the decimal.
