Answer

Y=360

Work Step by Step

to find the value of Y when C = 100, a = 10, and b = .25, we can use the equation C = a + bY and solve it for Y. The first step is to isolate Y on one side of the equation. To do this, we can start by subtracting a from both sides of the equation: C - a = bY 100 - 10 = b(Y) 90 = b(Y) The next step is to divide both sides of the equation by b: 90/b = Y (b is 0.25) 360 = Y So the value of Y when C = 100, a = 10, and b = .25 is 360. In other words, we used the equation C = a + bY, which relates consumption (C) and income (Y), and we know the values of C and a, so we used these values to find the value of Y by isolating Y on one side of the equation.
