Given data:
The total weight of the apples Jeff have W=45 pounds.
The amount Jeff earned for every 3/4 pound of apple is A=$4.50.
The expression for the given statement is,
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{4}\text{ pound =\$4.50} \\ 1\text{ pound =\$6} \end{gathered}[/tex]Multiple the above expression by 45 on both sides.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 45(\text{ 1 pound)=45(\$6)} \\ 45\text{ pounds =\$270} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the amount Jeff earned is $270.
