Sagot :

The content of the mixture, which are the colour, developer, and

conditioner, are in a fixed proportion to each other.

  • Poppy is incorrect, she should order 3 liters of developer and 1 liter of conditioner.

Reasons:

The table of the amount of each product used in the mixture are;

[tex]\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}Product&Colour&Developer&Conditioner\\Amount&30 ml&60 ml&60 ml\end{array}\right][/tex]

The number of appointment per month = 50

The quantities used per month have a proportional relationship

Quantity used a month are;

Colour = 30 ml × 50 = 1,500 ml

Developer = 60 ml = × 50 = 3,000 ml

Conditioner = 60 ml × 50 = 3,000 ml

Quantity available are;

Colour = 3.5 liters

Developer = 0.5 liters

Conditioner = 2.2 liters

The quantity needed = Quantity used - Quantity available

Therefore;

Quantity needed are;

Colour = 1,500 ml - 3,500 ml = -2,000 ml

Developer = 3,000 ml - 500 ml = 2,500 ml

Conditioner = 3,000  ml = 2,200 ml = 800 ml

Therefore, Poppy has enough colour but she needs 2,500 ml of developer and 800 ml conditioner

Therefore, she should order;

3,000 ml = 3 liters of developer

1,000 ml = 1 liter of conditioner

Therefore;

Poppy is incorrect, she should order 3 liters of developer and 1 liter of conditioner.
