A construction company used two different types of paving bricks to create a design around a water fountain. this company charges $1.75 for rectangular bricks and $2.10 each for the hexagonal bricks. these bricks are stored on pallets with each pallet of the rectangular containing 144 bricks and each of the hexagonal bricks containing 120 bricks.

A) a forklift operator places one pallet of each type on a truck, what is the total value of the bricks on the truck?

B) what is the average price per brick for all the bricks on this load?

C) If the design for the fountain calls for 2,000 of the rectuangular bricks, how many of the hexagonal bricks should be added to create a mix that costs an average of $1.90 per brick?

D) If the design for the fountain calls for 2,000 of the hexagonalbricks, how many of the rectuangular bricks should be added to create a mix that costs an average of $1.90 per brick?

E)If the design for the fountain calls for 2,000 of the hexagonalbricks, and the budget for the cost of the bricks will allow for an expense of $10,250, how many rectangular bricks can be used?
