Answer:
" The least common amount they could have spent = $ 24 "
Step-by-step explanation:
The price of shirts that Jodie bought = $6 per shirt
The price of shirts that Marge bought = $8 per shirt
⇒ Given that both of them spent the same amount of money on shirts.
Now
Prime factors of 6 = 2 × 3
Prime factors of 8 = 2 × 2 × 2
LCM of 6 & 8 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 (One 2 is common in both)
LCM of 6 & 8 = 24
" The least common amount they could have spent = $ 24 "
