Answer:

you spent all together 40.2+24.5+37.8=$102.50.

you saved 19.8+10.5+7.2=$37.50

[tex]\frac{102.50}{140}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount we spend, we multiply the original price by the decimal conversion of each fraction. Then we add the amounts together.

Sneakers cost $60 and you bought them at 2/3=0.6666....

60(0.67)=$40.20 and saved $19.80

Sweater costs $35 and you bought it at 7/10=0.7

35(0.7)=$24.50 and saved $10.50

A jacket costs $45 and you bought it at 5/6=0.8333...

45(0.84)=$37.80 and saved $7.20

We spent all together 40.2+24.5+37.8=$102.50.

We saved 19.8+10.5+7.2=$37.50

We could of spent paying regular price 60+35+45=$140. To find the fraction we place the total we actually paid over the total regular price.
