6) asanji collects coins. over a three-year
period he collected 1,000 nickels. after
organizing them by year, he found that the
number of nickels from a given year was
related to the number minted that year:
asanji discovered that this can be modeled
by the equation y - 1.89x + 0.459 where x
is the number of nickels minted in a
particular year in hundreds of millions and
y is the number of nickels from that year in
his sample

according to the model, how many nickels from a year in which 25 hundred million were minted
would you expect to find in a sample of 1,000? round your answer to the nearest whole number
