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? $19. 00 $23. 50 $28. 50 $31. 67.

19

Step-by-step explanation:

47 total so H+F=47

Francis spent F

Hector spent fifty percent more so F + 50% so 1F + .5F

so Hector spent 1.5F

Make the equation 1F + 1.5F = 47 and solve

simplify like terms 2.5F = 47

divide by 2.5 so F = 18.8 which is about 19

Hope this helps! :)

step-by-step explanation:

the total is 23.97. 0.25% is off so you have to subtracting 25% from 100% and you will get 75% if you convert it to decimal you will get 0.75. you have to find the original because the formula is % times original = total.so you have the total and the % so you just have to plug it in.

you can't solve x because it is 2 linear equation and you only have one equation
