Respuesta :

Answer:

$120.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Libby sold $60 worth of vegetables at the farmer's market.

Jess sold 3/4th of what Libby sold. Let us find 3/4 of 60.

[tex]\text{Jess sold}=60\times \frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Jess sold}=15\times 3[/tex]

[tex]\text{Jess sold}=45[/tex]

Therefore, Jess sold $45 worth of vegetables.

We are told that Stephanie sold 1/3rd of what Jess sold. So let us 1/3rd of 45.

[tex]\text{Stephanie sold}=45\times \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\text{Stephanie sold}=15[/tex]

Therefore Stephanie sold $15 worth of vegetables.

Now let us add amounts of money earned by Libby, Jess and Stephanie to get the total money earned by all.

[tex]\text{The total money earned by Libby, Jess and Stephanie}=60+45+15[/tex]

[tex]\text{The total money earned by Libby, Jess and Stephanie}=120[/tex]

Therefore, they all sell $120 worth of vegetables together.

Answer:

As per the statement: Libby sold $60 worth of vegetables at the farmer's market.

⇒ Libby sold vegetables at the farmers market = $60

Jess sold 3/4th of what Libby sold.

⇒ Jess sold = [tex]\frac{3}{4} \times 60 = \$45[/tex]

Also, Stephanie sold 1/3rd of what Jess sold.

⇒ Stephanie sold = [tex]\frac{1}{3} \times 45 = \$15[/tex]

To find how much did they all sell together.

Together they all sell together = Libby sold + Jess sold + Stephanie sold

                                                    =$60 + $45+$15 = $120

Therefore, they all sell together is, $120
