Answer:
$13,200
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the original cost by .04 and 12 years
(original cost)(rate in decimal form)(time)
 
        
             
        
        
        
This can be solved by making an equivalent ratio.
The original ratio is what we know, 15 inches of wire for 90 cents.
In a ratio of inches of wire:cents, this would be 15:90.
Now for the equivalent ratio.
We don't know the number in the inches place but we do know it for the cents place.
Let's use x to represent inches of wire.
x:48 is our new ratio, and we need to find x.
Since x:48 and 15:90 are equivalent, that means the same thing that was done to 90 to get 48 has to be done to 15 to get the value of x, since the same thing must be applied to both sides.
We can find what 90 was divided by (which is what we'll have to divide 15 by) by dividing 90 by 48.
90 / 48 = 1.875
This means 48 • 1.875 = 90 and x • 1.875 = 15.
Since we don't know x though, we can isolate it by dividing both sides by 1.875.
x • 1.875 = 15
x • 1.875 / 1.875 = x
15 / 1.875 = 8
So x is 8.
Answer:
While you can be 15 inches of wire for 90 cents, you can buy 8 inches of wire for 48 cents at the same rate.

Answer:  16</h3>
=============================================================
Explanation:
Equate s(t(x)) and s(1) to find that t(x) = 1 must be the case.
Let's find what x must be.
t(x) = 3x-8
1 = 3x-8
1+8 = 3x
9 = 3x
3x = 9
x = 9/3
x = 3
So plugging x = 3 into t(x) gets us t(x) = 1
In other words, t(3) = 1
So that tells us s(t(3)) = s(1)
-------------
Let's plug x = 3 into the s(t(x)) equation
s(t(x)) = x^2 + 3x - 2
s(t(3)) = (3)^2 + 3(3) - 2
s(1) = 9 + 3(3) - 2
s(1) = 9 + 9 - 2
s(1) = 18 - 2
s(1) = 16
 
        
        
        
A) angle 1 = angle 2 - Incorrect
These angles are only on one of the following lines, which means that they do not show that lines C and D are parallel. In addition, angles 1 and 2 are supplementary, so they could not be equal.
B) angle 1 + angle 2 = 180 - Incorrect
Though this is true, this does not prove that lines C and D are parallel because both of these angles are on the same line.
C) angle 2 = angle 3 - Correct
These angles are alternate interior angles and there are angles on both lines, which proves that lines C and D are parallel.
D) angle 2 + angle 3 = 180 - Incorrect
These angles are equivalent, so they cannot add up to 180 degrees unless the intersecting line was perpendicular to both lines C and D. 
Hope this helps!! :)
