Answer:

the spent on food would be $23

And for clothes it would be = $23 + $24 = $47

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the food be x

So for clothes it would be  x + $24

And, the total spent on food and clothes is $70

So the equation is

x + x + $24 - $70

2x = $70 - $24

2x = $46

x = $23

So, the spent on food would be $23

And for clothes it would be = $23 + $24 = $47
