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.
