Answer:

The inventory level at which the company places an order = 91 gallons of paint

Explanation:

Per week, the average demand, d = 52 gallons

The Lead time, L = 1.75 weeks

The inventory level at which the company places an order = average demand * Lead time

= 52*1.75 = 91 gallons.

Therefore, the inventory level at which the company places an order = 91 gallons of paint.
