In Millington, a city of 50,000 people, Mercedes Pedrosa, a realtor, calculated that a fimily with Millington's median family income,$28,000 a year, could afford to buy Millington's median-priced $77,000 house. This calculation was based of an 11.2 percent mortgage interest rate and on the realtor's assumption that a family culd only afford to pay up a 25% of its income for housing.
Which of the following correctins of a fugure appearing in the passage above, fir it were the only correction that needed to be made, would yield a new calculation showing that even below the median family income would enable families in Millington to afford Millington's median- priced house?
A. Millington's total population was 45,000 people
B. Millington's median annual family income was $27,000
C. Millington's median-priced house cost $80,000
