History/Math Extra Credit:
Prior to their entry into WWII, the US government passed an act allowing them to sell or lease any defense article to promote the defense of the country.
The prices for three of these defense articles are as follows:
o
Machine Guns -
- $12/gun
o
Aircraft Radios
-- $7.50/radio
o
Telephone Cable
-- $1.65/foot
If the US supplied the USSR with 500 machine guns, 325 radios, and 7700 yards of telephone cable, what is the total fee? (2 pts for right answer, 2 extra pts if you can name the act passed by the US government).
