Multiple Choice

Write an equation for the linear function and use it to answer the given question.
-The price of a particular model car is $10,171 today and rises with time at a constant rate of $1146 per year. How much will a new car cost in 4.1 years?

A) $p = 10,171 \mathrm { t } - 1146 ; \$ 40,555.10$
B) $p = 10,171 + 1146 \mathrm { t }$ ; $\$ 14,869.60$
C) $p = 10,171 - 1146 \mathrm { t }$ ; \$5472.40
D) $p = 1146 + 10,171 \mathrm { t } ; \$ 42,847.10$
