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

Francis spent $19 and Hector spent $28.50

A. $19

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount spent between the two person = $47.5

If Hector is represented by H

Francis represent by F

Therefore equation 1 = H + F = 47.5

H +F = 47.5 (eqn 1)

From the question

Hector = Francis + 50% Francis

Translating this into an equation we get,

H = F + 0.5F (eqn 2)

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1, we get:

(F + 0.5F) + F = 47.5

Thus 2.5F = 47.5

F = 47.5/2.5 = 19
