while shopping, jill spent four times as much as meg. if they spent a total of $175, how much did each person spend?

Jill spent $140 and Meg spent $35

Step-by-step explanation:

I found my answer by going through logical numbers that could reach my total while also accounting for the parameters set in the problem.

Jill spent 4 times as much as meg and 35 multiplied by 4 is equal to 140

140+35=175

check the picture below.

well, the angle at the vertex d is clearly not a right-angle, let's check for the one at the vertex f which does look like,   however if it's indeed, that means ef is perpendicular to df, in which case their slopes will be negative reciprocal of each other.

so the negative reciprocal of the slope of ef is 1, however the slope of df is not 1, is 1/2, so nope, they're not perpendicular lines.

it is part of the rising action that reveals public sentiment toward hester.
