Answer 1

The answer is 470(32-n).

Explanation:

Given:

There were 32 volunteers to donate blood. Unfortunately, n of the volunteers did not meet the health requirements, so they couldn't donate. The rest of the volunteers donated 470 milliliters each.

Now, to find milliliters of blood the volunteers donate.

Total volunteers = 32.

The number of volunteers couldn't donate = n

The rest of volunteers who donated = 32 - n

Milliliters of blood the rest of each volunteers donated = 470 milliliters.

Now, to get the milliliters of blood the volunteers donate, we multiply the number of rest of volunteers who donated blood by the milliliters of blood they donated: 470(32 - n)

Therefore, the answer is 470(32-n).
