Consider the question. Sab and Dane sold 6 pairs of shoes that cost $3 each and 18 shirts that cost $2. How much will each of them earn if they divided their total earning?
If the answer is '27'; explain the reasoning:
They earned 6 x $3 = $18 for the shoes they sold. They earned 18 x $2 = 36 for the shirts they sold. So, they earned $18 + $36 = $54 in total for the clothing they sold. Therefore, Sab and Dane earned $54 / 2 = $27 each.
