Jared bought a cell phone for $42. Juanita spent 1 1/2 times as much. How much did she spend?
Thank you very much!
42 * 1.5 = ?
45+5=50
To find out how much Juanita spent, we need to calculate 1 1/2 times the amount Jared spent ($42).
To calculate 1 1/2 times an amount, we can multiply the amount by 1.5 (since 1 1/2 is the same as 1.5).
So, let's multiply $42 by 1.5:
$42 x 1.5 = $63
Therefore, Juanita spent $63 on the cell phone.
You're welcome! Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.
