The Toothpaste
Millionaire

Sixth-grader Rufus Mayflower is betting that he can make a whole gallon of toothpaste for the same price as one tube from the store. There’s just one problem, he has to solve real-life mathematical equations first!

Can these two entrepreneurs keep up with the high demand for their popular product?
