Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine the number of appliances sold in 1997, we need to find the value of S when x=15 (since 1997 is 15 years after 1982).

S = 170x + 2300 
S = 170(15) + 2300 
S = 2550 + 2300 
S = 4850

Therefore, the number of appliances sold in 1997 was 4850. The correct choice is B.
