While shopping, Jill spent four times as much as Meg. If they spent a total of $175, how much did each person spend?

Jill spent $140 and Meg spent $35

Step-by-step explanation:

I found my answer by going through logical numbers that could reach my total while also accounting for the parameters set in the problem.

Jill spent 4 times as much as meg and 35 multiplied by 4 is equal to 140

140+35=175
