Answer:

The total cost to install the 1,200 ft of the pipe is $21000.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

You buy 900 ft pipe with a cost of $15 per foot and the remaining 300 ft pipe with a cost of $25 per foot.

Therefore, the total cost is:


900 * 15+300 * 25


13500+7500


13500+7500


21000

Hence, the total cost to install the 1,200 ft of the pipe is $21000.
