$Y=\left[\begin{array}{l}8.30 \\ 3.45 \\ 4.50\end{array}\right] \begin{gathered}\text { Physics } \\ \text { Chemistry } \\ \text { Mathematics }\end{gathered}$

Total amount received by the store from selling all the items is given by

$X Y=\left[\begin{array}{lll}120 & 96 & 60\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}8.30 \\ 3.45 \\ 4.50\end{array}\right]$

$=[(120)(8.30)+(96)(3.45)+(60)(4.50)]$
