Answer:  The correct option is (A) 1.8x+1200.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Frazier is saving money for college and has $1200 in savings. He earns $9 per hour. He saves 25% of his net pay after 20% taken out for tax.

We are to identify the expression that represents Frazier's savings.

Let, x represents the number of hours for which Frazier works.

So, the net pay of Frazier = $ 9x.

Since 20% of the net pay is taken out for tax, so total pay of Frazier after taking out tax is given by

I_t=9x-20\%\times 9x=9x-\dfrac{20}{100}\times 9x=9x-\dfrac{9x}{5}=\dfrac{36x}{5}.

Now, Frazier's savings from his net pay is given by

I_s=25\%\times \dfrac{36x}{5}=\dfrac{25}{100}\times \dfrac{36x}{5}=\dfrac{9x}{5}=1.8x.

Since Frazier has $1200 already in savings, so the equation representing Frazier's savings will be

1.8x+1200.

Thus, the required equation is 1.8x+1200.

Option (A) is CORRECT.

Brad has two lengths of copper pipe to fit together. one has a length of 2 5/12 feet and the other has a length of 3 7/12 feet.
elena-s [515]
To find all of the feet of pipe that Brad has, you add both of the lengths of the pipes together. So 2 5/12+3 7/12. Add the numbers together first, 5. Then add the fractions, 5/12+7/12=1. So add 5 and 1 and you get 6 feet of pipe. Hope this helps.
