Dana would need 75 pickets of each color to have an equal amount.

75x4=300

She would need 43 more red pickets to equal 75. (32+43=75)

49 more green pickets to equal 75 (26+49=75)

66 more yellow pickets to equal 75 (9+66=75)

75 blue pickets to equal 75. (0+75=75)

Answer:

Dana will have to spend $47.67.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dana needs 300 pickets for her colorful picket fence.

As she needs equal amount for 4 colors, so for each color she will need \frac{300}{4}=75 bulbs

She already has 32 red, 26 yellow, 9 green and no blues. She wants equal amounts of each of her 4 selected colors.

So, additional number of bulbs she needs are :

Red = 75-32=43

Yellow = 75-26=49

Green = 75-9=66

Blue = 75-0=75

Now, cost of 1 bulb = $0.25

You get 20% discount if you purchase 50 or more bulbs of the same color and 30% off if you purchase 60 or more of one color.

Cost for red bulbs = 43\times0.25=10.75 dollars

Cost of yellow bulbs = 49\times0.25=12.25 dollars

Cost of green bulbs = 66\times0.25=16.5 dollars

After 30% off, the price becomes: 16.5-(0.30\times16.5)=11.55 dollars

Cost of blue bulbs = 75\times0.25=18.75 dollars

After 30% off, the price becomes: 18.75-(0.30\times18.75)=13.125 dollars

Total cost of all bulbs = 10.75+12.25+11.55+13.125=47.675 dollars

Hence, Dana will have to spend $47.67.
