All the components in the state vector need to sum to 1. You're given that component corresponding to state 1 is 0.2, and that the component for state 3 is 0.
That leaves states 2 and 4, for which you're told that the component for state 2 is four times as large. If

is the component for state

, then you have

which means

. So the state vector is

.
So,
3/4=0.75
36/0.75=48
You need 48 paperclips to make it end to end.
The cost is:
48 x 0.02=0.96
The total cost is $0.96

A 190,900
(after the comma there is a 9 which makes it one hundred ninety thousand nine hundred 900 is greater than 90)
All of the box numbers are decide by the bottom numbers. Ex: 3+4=7, the top box is seven above 3 and 4. So you would add 16 and 17 which is 33. The answer is 33.
