a. the total cost of the small popcorns
b. the amount of small popcorns she is buying
c. the total cost
d. the cost of the ticket

A. The total cost of the small popcorns

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose Trinity is going to the movies with number of friends, we know she will pay for only her own movie ticket hence cost of movie ticket will be a constant (say ) for her expense and cost of popcorn will be price of one popcorn (say ) multiplied by number of friends.

considering the situation, her expense will be given by the function-

comparing this with the given function  , will be the total cost of small popcorns.

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.
