We have been given that Fernando bought a jacket for $185 and sold it for 1 1/2 times what he paid.

Let us find selling price of jacket as:

\text{Selling price of Fernando's jacket}=\$185\times 1\frac{1}{2}

\text{Selling price of Fernando's jacket}=\$185\times \frac{3}{2}

\text{Selling price of Fernando's jacket}=\$277.5

We have been given that Marisol spent 1/5 as much as Fernando on the same jacket.

\text{Cost of Marisol's jacket}=\$185\times \frac{1}{5}

\text{Cost of Marisol's jacket}=\$37

We are also told that Marisol sold the jacket for 1/2 as much as Fernando did.

\text{Selling price of Marisol's jacket}=\frac{\$277.5}{2}

\text{Selling price of Marisol's jacket}=\$138.75

The amount of money earned by Marisol would be selling price of jacket minus cost.

\text{Amount of money earned by Marisol}=\$138.75-\$37

\text{Amount of money earned by Marisol}=\$101.75

Therefore, Marisol made $101.75.
