A typical car’s price during the time averaged at about $1,496.
Let’s take the weekly wage of a factory worker at the time. They were paid about $12/week.
The annual income would be $624. If they worked for two years, they’d have $1,248.
In conclusion, the average factory worker would need to work a little over two years to afford an automobile. Keep in mind that this amount hasn’t accounted for food, tax, rent, etc, an that each wage varies differently.

Based on events described in the text, what was the immediate reaction of women suffragists to the Fifteenth Amendment?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Hello. You did not inform the text to which the question refers, but through research on the suffragette movement, we can say that the suffragettes repudiated this amendment and what it addressed.

Explanation:

The 15th amendment states that the government is prohibited from preventing citizens from voting on the basis of their skin color, race or previous condition of servitude. This amendment allowed blacks to vote, as they were free and citizens. However, the suffragettes rejected this decision and reacted with strong hostility to it. This regulation occurred because the 15th did not include women as citizens with the right to vote, that is, women were still denied to exercise their citizenship and actively participate in the government's political choices.
