Answer:
Marisol made $138.75 on the sale of the jacket
Step-by-step explanation:
First we are told that Fernando bought a jacket for $185, and sold it for 1 1/12 what he paid.
Therefore, 1 1/2 of 185;
= 1.5 × 185 = $277.5
Therefore, Fernando sold the Jacket for $277.5
Next, we are told that:
Marisol spent 1/5 as much as Fernando on the same jacket
This means that Marisol spent 1/5 of $185 on the jacket
= 1/5 × 185 = 0.2 × 185 = $37
Therefore, Marisol spent $37 to buy the same jacket
Next, Marisol sold the jacket for 1/2 as much as Fernando. Since Fernando sold the Jacket for $277.5, Marisol sold the jacket for 1/2 of 277.5, and this is calculated as:
1/2 of 277.5 = 0.5 × 277.5 = 138.75
Therefore, Marisol made $138.75 on the sale of the jacket.
