Solve the problem.
-As the relative humidity increases, the temperature seems higher than it is. The expression 0.110x + 82.57 approximates the apparent temperature for an actual temperature of 90° F, where x is the relative humidity.
What is the apparent temperature (to the nearest degree) for a relative humidity of 100%?
A) 183°F
B) 908°F
C) 94°F
D) 83°F

When x (relative humidity) is 100%, the expression becomes 0.110(100) + 82.57 = 93.57°F. This is the apparent temperature, which is higher than the actual temperature of 90°F. Rounded to the nearest degree, the answer is 94°F. Therefore, the correct answer is C. To find the apparent temperature for a relative humidity of 100%, we substitute x=100 in the given expression: 
Apparent temperature = 0.110(100) + 82.57
Apparent temperature = 11 + 82.57
Apparent temperature = 93.57°F, which rounds to 94°F. Therefore, the answer is option C.
