Answer:
a. 61.92 in²
b. 21.396 ≈ 21.4%
c. $4.71
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Amount of waste = area of rectangular piece of stock - area of two identical circles cut out
Area of rectangular piece of stock = 24 in × 12 in = 288 in²
Area of the two circles = 2(πr²)
Use 3.14 as π
radius = ½*12 = 6
Area of two circles = 2(3.14*6²) = 226.08 in²
Amount of waste = 288 - 226.08 = 61.92 in²
b. % of the original stock wasted = amount of waste ÷ original stock × 100
= 61.92/288 × 100 = 6,162/288 = 21.396 ≈ 21.4%
c. 288 in² of the piece of stock costs $12.00,
Each cut-out circle of 113.04 in² (226.08/2) will cost = (12*113.04)/288
= 1,356.48/288 = $4.71.

Apparently, the calculator at the link in your lesson is fully capable of giving you the necessary numbers. My own TI-84 work-alike gives me the account balances, but the rest of the numbers need to be figured.
In 30 years, there are 12×30 = 360 months, or 4×30 = 120 quarters. See the calculator results below. Your table can be filled in using the given information to find the contribution amount. The calculator gives the final balance. The interest amount is found by subtracting the contribution amount from the final balance.
