(A) what is the most the art supplies fee could cost per student?
(B) use your answer in part (a) to determine how many students paid the art supplies fee each day
1st day

3rd day
Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It has to be the largest factor of $27, and that is $9. Conceivably, it could be $3, or even $1, but the question is the most the fee could be.
Therefore, 3 students paid the first day, 5 the second, and 7 on the third.
