Tom is a big fan of movies, but as he re-examined his finances, he realized he spends way too much money going to the theater all the time. He plans to cut back by waiting for some of the movies to come out on Netflix instead. Tom wants to use this strategy to stick to a budget of no more than $80 for theater tickets. If each movie ticket costs $14.55, how many movies can Tom see in theaters while still sticking to his budget?

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.
