Answer: For Jon, buying 3 shirts for $20 can be written as a rate as follows:

The number of shirts Jon buys per dollar spent = 3 shirts / $20 = 3/20 shirts/dollar

For Brenda, recording 76 songs on 4 albums can be written as a rate as follows:

The number of songs Brenda records per album = 76 songs / 4 albums = 19 songs/album

So, the rate of songs Brenda records per album can be written as 19 songs/album.
