Question 912836: Hector and Francis spent a total of $47.50 at the mall. If Hector spent 50% more than Francis, how much did Francis spend at the mall? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x the amount Francis spent
(1.50)x + x = $47.50
2.5x = 47.50
x = 47.50/2.5 = $19,the amount Francis spent.
And Checking..
1.5($19) + $19 = $28.50 + $19 = $47.50
