19. Amy, Becky and Chloe went shopping. Becky spent only $15 \%$ of what Chloe spent. However, Amy spent $60 \%$ more than Chloe. Together they spent $£ 55$. How much did Amy spend?
A $£ 3$
B $£ 20$
C $£ 25$
D $£ 26$
E $£ 32$
19. E Let the amount Chloe spent be $£ x$. Therefore Amy spent $£ 1.6 x$ and Becky spent $£ 0.15 x$. The total amount spent is $£ 55$ and hence $x+1.6 x+0.15 x=55$. Therefore $2.75 x=55$, which has solution $x=20$. Hence Amy spent $£(1.6 \times 20)=£ 32$.
