History
1 answer:
labwork [276]3 years ago
6 0
The United States sponsored the Contras because they were against the Sandinista government which was in place at the time in Nicaragua. The Sandinista government was a national reconstruction government, but it was a government that the United States viewed as communist. It came at the time where the United States was extremely weary of the Soviet Union and communist rule and a time when Reagan was president and his foreign policy was based very much on stopping opposing ideologies from gaining ground anywhere in the world.

So given that Annie paid $12 first to enter the state fair as entrance fee, then per ride costs $2 each, the equation would be y = 2x + 12. Given that she rode eight rides, that would mean y = 2(8) + 12, so the answer would be y = $28. So the amount she spent in total is $28. Hope this answers your question.
