Number of toothpicks required per student = At least 9
Total number of students = 30
Number of toothpicks required for the entire class = At least 9 × 30 = At least 270
Number of toothpicks in the bag in the class storage room = 50
Additional number of toothpicks required to be bought to make sure there are enough toothpicks = 270 - 50 = 220
Hence, she needs to buy 220 toothpicks.
So there are 8 pints in a us gallon, 2 drops of blue to make a pint of purple (2x8x50=800) and then 3 drops of red to make purple (3x8x50=1200) I think maybe I've missed a step but (800+1200=2000) so 2000 drops of red and blue combined to make 50 gallons of purple paint.
(5b)(-3a)
= (5*(-3))(b*a) (combine like terms)
= -15ab
The final answer is -15ab~
A) 4 price reductions.
B) The maximum predicted sales revenue per customer is $30.25 which occurs with 5 price reductions.
As a matter of interest, the $30 revenue per customer also occurs with 6 price reductions but this happens after reaching the maximum predicted revenue per customer of $30.25.
