Answer:

b. $680

Explanation:

Calculation to determine how much would she be willing to pay for an apartment downtown, assuming a 20 workday month

First step to determine the Cost of commuting using this formula

Cost of commuting = Cost of gas and productivity × 20 workday month

Let plug in the formula

Cost of commuting =$4*20

Cost of commuting =$80

Now let determine how much would she be willing to pay for an apartment

Using this formula

Amount willing to pay= Total rent + Cost of commuting

Let plug in the formula

Amount willing to pay= $600 + $80

Amount willing to pay= $680

Therefore how much would she be willing to pay for an apartment downtown, assuming a 20 workday month is $680
