Answer:
You will spend a total of $337.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression for the total quantity of fleece needed for the jacket can be expressed as;
T=J×N
where;
T=total quantity of fleece
J=quantity of fleece per jacket
N=number of fleece jackets
In our case;
T=unknown
J=1 7/8 yards
N=20 fleece jackets
replacing;
T=(1 7/8)×20
T=(15/8)×20=37.5 yards of fleece
Total cost of fleece=cost per yard of fleece×total yards of fleece
where;
cost per yard of fleece=$9 per yard
total yards of fleece=37.5 yards
replacing;
Total cost=(9×37.5)=$337.50
