To find out who bought the same kind of paint as Parvati, we first need to calculate the price per gallon of paint that Parvati bought.
Parvati bought 8 gallons of paint for a total of $144. To find the price per gallon, we can divide the total cost by the number of gallons:
\[ \text{Price per gallon} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of gallons}} = \frac{144}{8} = 18 \]
So, the price per gallon of paint is $18.
Now, let's calculate the price per gallon for each of the other people:
A. Brandon bought 5 gallons for $90: \[ \text{Price per gallon} = \frac{90}{5} = 18 \]
B. Trevor bought 6 gallons for $114: \[ \text{Price per gallon} = \frac{114}{6} = 19 \]
C. Natasha bought 7 gallons for $143: \[ \text{Price per gallon} = \frac{143}{7} \approx 20.43 \]
D. Danaia bought 9 gallons for $152: \[ \text{Price per gallon} = \frac{152}{9} \approx 16.89 \]
Comparing the price per gallon, we see that:
- Parvati and Brandon both have a price per gallon of $18.
- Trevor, Natasha, and Danaia have different prices per gallon.
Therefore, the person who bought the same kind of paint as Parvati is:
A. Brandon bought 5 gallons of paint for $90.
