A ton is 2,000 pounds so multiply 2,000 x 18
2,000 x 18 = 36,000 pounds, now add the 42 pounds to the 36,000
36,000 + 42 = 36,042 pounds. Now divide 36,042 by 3
36,042 ÷ 3 = 12,014
Your answer is 12,014 pounds
If you need your answer in tons it's 6.007 tons
Calculations for pounds to tons
12,014 ÷ 2,000 = 6.007
Hope this helps. :)
To be honest, these answer choices are a bit baffling. The best answer in my opinion would be to do at least two of the three options given below.
- Place a price floor above the equilibrium.
- Decrease imports from other countries.
- Reduce current supply (reduce herd sizes).
Doing that should increase the prices.
Placing a floor above equilibrium will force the equilibrium to move upward, and with the reduce in supply from other countries, demand will shift toward the domestic producers. Without the demand shift, there simply would be an oversupply or surplus of dairy. Either the surplus is thrown away or its simply housed somewhere else (often at taxpayer expense).

If you place a ceiling below equilibrium, then the price will go down to that ceiling value. That will be the highest price possible. This is the opposite of what the farmers want. It gets even worse when you increase milk imports (since supply goes up leading to further reduced prices). So that rules out choice A.
If you place a ceiling above equilibrium, then nothing happens. The price stays at equilibrium. Nothing too exciting here. This rules out choice B (though I agree with the "decrease imports" portion).
If you set a floor below equilibrium, then nothing happens similar to the last paragraph above. The price stays where it is. We can rule out choice C. Reducing herd sizes will reduce supply so that could maybe increase prices.
I'm not really familiar with the term "arbitrage" so I probably won't be any help here. That seems like an answer choice that is a distraction, but I'm not sure.
Since it's an equilateral triangle, all of the angles are the same. Since its perimeter we just need to add. So 3.5+3.5+3.5= 10.5
So the answer is 10.5
