PLZ HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE Clayton and Danielle each go to a hardware store to buy wire. The table shows the cost y in dollars for x inches of the wire they need. Clayton needs 23 feet of the wire. Danielle needs 13 feet of the wire. How much will each of them spend for wire?

Cost of Wire
Length in Inches (x) | Cost in Dollars (y)

(Please and thank you in advance!)

Clayton = $16.56

Danielle = $9.36

Step-by-step explanation:

from this we can form an equation using two data points

Using (125, 7.50) and (150, 9)

put in the formula (y-y1)/(x-x1) = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

x1 = 125, x2 = 150 , y1 = 7.5-, y2 = 9

(y - 7.5)/(x- 125) = (9-7.50)/(150-125)

(y - 7.5)/(x- 125) = 1.5/25= 0.06

y = 0.06(x-125) + 7.5

y = 0.06 x - 7.5 + 7.5

y = 0.06x

we can use the equation to solve both questions

Clayton needs 23 ft = 276 inches

y = 0.06(276) = $16.56

Danielle needs 12ft = 156

y = 0.06(156) = $9.36

This question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Suppose in the next year, 2007, College D's expenses and enrollment remain about the same, but in addition to their current revenues, they receive an additional $50,000,000 grant. This would allow them to reduce average tuition by how much?

A) $1388.89

B) $3571.43

C) $5555.56

D) $9500.00

E) $25888.89

number of students = 36,000

A) $

1388.89

Step-by-step explanation:

the college received additional grant which is $50,000,000

and the number of students is 36,000,

and we also know that expenses and enrollment remained the same.

So if we have more money (grants) and nothing changed (expenses remain the same)

dividing the grant by the number of students will show just how much the average tuition fee would be reduced

therefore R = G/n

R = 50,000,000 / 36000

R = 1,388.888 ≈  $1388.89
