Question

meghan went to the mall and then out to eat with her friends. at the restaurant, meghan spent 3 dollars more than 1/2 the amount that she spent at the mall. if she spent $13.50 at the restaurant, how much did meghan spend at the mall? write and solve the equation.

Answer 1

She spent $23.25, how I got my answer.

I divided $13.50÷2=$6.75 then I added $6.75+3=$9.75 then I added $9.75+$13.50=$23.25.

I hope this helps.
