Respuesta :

Answer: $582,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a proportion.

Proportion = square feet/ cost

Since a 1425 square feet shop cost 45600 to lease, the proportion is equal to: 1425/45600

For a 1820 square feet shop: 1820/x

Where x is the cost per year for leasing a 1820 square feet shop

1425ft/$456000= 1820ft/$x

1425/456000=1820/x

Solving for x:

x = 1820/(1425/456000)  

x = $582,400
