A local clothing store sells t-shirts for $8 each, sweaters for $12 each, jeans for $15 each. Let x represent the number of t-shirts sold, y represents the number of sweaters sold, and z represent the number of jeans sold. Write an expression to represent the total amount of sales from t-shirts, sweaters, and jeans

8x + 12y + 15z

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sales rate of three items: 8$ for t-shirts, 12$ for sweaters, and 15$ for jeans. It also states that these rates are represented by the corresponding variables being x for t-shirts, y for sweaters, and z for jeans.

To complete the expression, just combine the rate with the corresponding variables. i.e 8$ for t-shirts, and x for shirts = 8x, 12$ for sweaters and y for sweaters = 12y, 15$ for jeans, and z for jeans = 15z. Finally, sum them together.

8x + 12y + 15z

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
