Solution

To solve this problem, we need to substitute the value of x (which is the amount spent on advertising) into the equation of the linear regression line.

The equation is y = 2.1x + 130.

If the company spends $50 on advertising, then x = 50.

Substitute x = 50 into the equation:

y = 2.1(50) + 130 y = 105 + 130 y = 235

So, the company can expect about 235insalesifitspends235 in sales if it spends 50 on advertising. Therefore, the correct answer is D. $235.
