Answer:
a=10
b=12
Step-by-step explanation:
$24
Jodie bought 4 shirts
Marge bought 3 shirts
$4.20 = 3/10 of pizza
1/10 = $4.20 ÷3
10/10 = [$4.20 ÷3] ×10
Finding common denominators allows you to more easily get your answer for the problem. fractions are complex as it is if you have a denominator of 16 and 4 your immediate reaction would be to just subtract the process and answer would be completely wrong.
1- Price of each carton:
Since they both bought different number of cartons of milk from the same store, we can simply find the price of one carton from the difference between what they both paid.
Since Tamara paid 3$ and Toe paid 3.75$, we can simply say that one carton of milk costs 0.75$ and that Toe bought one carton more than Tamra.
2- How many cartons each bought:
Tamra bought : 3 / 0.75 = 4 cartons
Toe bought : 3.75 / 0.75 = 5 cartons
