The correct answer is that detergent C will be used more than any other detergent. Ax+Bx+Cx = (washing soda, water, or borax). Finally, after doing all the mater you are left with the Matrix of [25 25 50] (vertical) meaning the final row, 50, detergent C will be used more than the others.

Hey You!

The answer is Detergent C because 0.20 + 0.70 + 0.10 = 100, and therefore, Detergent C will create 100 ounces of detergent.
