If an item tends to be very expensive to repair, how might that affect your decision to purchase a warranty for it?
a. if an item is very expensive to repair, it is probably easier to buy a new one than to repair it, so a warranty is probably not worth it.
b. the price of a warranty is based on the price of the repairs, so a warranty might not be a good idea.
c. buying an extended warranty might be a good idea so that you do not have to repair the item yourself.
d. buying a limited warranty might be a good idea because limited warranties sometimes do not deal with repairs, meaning that you will not have to handle these expensive repairs.

The correct answer is:

C) buying an extended warranty might be a good idea so that you do not have to repair the item yourself.

Explanation:

An extended warranty covers repairs that are not covered under the original manufacturer's warranty.  This means that if you have an expensive item that breaks down after the original warranty, an extended warranty will cover some, if not all, of the cost of repairs.

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.
