Explanation / Answer

You already have calculated that 4000gallons produced.

Now as you know capacity of each storage drum is only 55 gallon. So we need at least (4000/55)=72.727 drums. That is only 72drums is not capable of storing all the raw materials. One extra drum will be needed to keep the balance amount of material.

So at least 73 drums you need.
