Please show work.

Answer 1

$19.5

Explanation:

156 x 3/4 = 117

156 x 1/2 = 78

117+78=195

Not possible!!!!

But if it means 3/4 then 1/2 of remaining then its...

156 x 3/4 = 117

156-117=39

39 x 1/2= $19.5

Answer 2

she has $19.5

Explanation:

156/4=39*3=117 spent on bag

156-117=39 left for scarf so divide 39/2=19.5

19.5 was used for the scarf and only 19.5 was left over
