The amount of money received by him will be $15.60.

What is an expression?

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division

The amount will be calculated as follows:-

The cut off amount = 18 - ( 1(15/16) -3(1/8)-4(1/2) = 8(7/16)

Now 16 ounces make a pound so divide by 16 we get:-

(135/16) ÷ ( 9 / 16 ) = ( 135/16 ) x ( 16 / 9 ) = 15

Dividing 15 by 3 we get 5 packs of 3 patties for $3.12

So amount = 3.12 x 5 = $15.60

Therefore the amount of money received by him will be $15.60.
