Answer:
The cost of the building permit is $2,526
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
n -----> the estimated cost of the building
f(n) ---> is the cost of the permit
we know that
[tex]f(n) = 939 + 5.29(n-100,000)/1,000[/tex]
we have
[tex]n=\$400,000[/tex]
Substitute the value of n in the function above to obtain the cost of the permit
[tex]f(n)=939 + 5.29(400,000-100,000)/1,000[/tex]
[tex]f(n)=939 + 5.29(300,000)/1,000[/tex]
[tex]f(n)=\$2,526[/tex]
therefore
The cost of the building permit is $2,526
