Question

Jodie bought some shirts for $6 each marge bought some shirts for $8 each the girls spent the same amount of money on shirts what is the least amount they could have spent

Answer 1

im really not good at this but I did 6x8 which is 48

Answer 2

All this is asking you to do is find the LCM (least common multiple) of 8 and 6. So if you list them out this is what you get:
6: 6,12,18,24
8:8,16,24,32
So you can see that the multiple 24 is common between them. Now just add the two together and you have your answer: 48$
