Answer 1

Shay can give lip gloss to 15 friends.

Explanation:

Given:

shay has 100 tubes of lip gloss.

She keeps 10 for herself.

Number of Lip gloss remaining = Total number of Lip Gloss
`-` Number of Lip gloss she keeps for herself =
`100 -10=90`

she allows friends to pick 6 tubes of lip gloss

Each friend can have lip gloss = 6 tubes.

Total Number of friends whom she can give lip gloss =
`\frac{\textrm{Number of Lip gloss remaining}}{\textrm{Each friend can have lip gloss}}=(90)/(6)=15`

Hence she can give 15 Friends the remaining Lip gloss.
