Answer 2

Answer:

Brian spend $16

Sarah spend 31.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Brian + Sarah = $47.50

Brian spends $15.50 less than Sarah meaning that Sarah spends $15.50 more than Brian, so:

Sarah = Brian + $ 15.50

Brian + ( Brian + $15.50)  = $47.50

2B + 15.50 = 47.50

2B = 47.50 - 15.50

2B = 32

B = 32/2

B = 16
