If 
m∠ABC
 is 1 degree less than three times 
m∠ABD
 and 
∠DBC=47°
, find each measure.

We are given the following information:

1. \( m\angle ABC \) is 1 degree less than three times \( m\angle ABD \). 
2. \( \angle DBC = 47^\circ \).
3. \( m\angle ABC = m\angle ABD + m\angle DBC \), as \( \angle ABC \) is the sum of \( \angle ABD \) and \( \angle DBC \).

### Step-by-step solution:

Let:
- \( m\angle ABD = x \)
- \( m\angle ABC = 3x - 1 \) (since it's 1 degree less than three times \( m\angle ABD \)).

We know that:
\[
m\angle ABC = m\angle ABD + m\angle DBC
\]
Substituting the known values:
\[
3x - 1 = x + 47
\]

### Solving the equation:

1. Simplify the equation:
\[
3x - 1 = x + 47
\]
2. Subtract \( x \) from both sides:
\[
2x - 1 = 47
\]
3. Add 1 to both sides:
\[
2x = 48
\]
4. Divide both sides by 2:
\[
x = 24
\]

### Now, calculate the angles:
- \( m\angle ABD = x = 24^\circ \)
- \( m\angle ABC = 3x - 1 = 3(24) - 1 = 72 - 1 = 71^\circ \)

Thus:
- \( m\angle ABD = 24^\circ \)
- \( m\angle ABC = 71^\circ \)
- \( m\angle DBC = 47^\circ \) (given).

### Final answer:
- \( m\angle ABD = 24^\circ \)
- \( m\angle ABC = 71^\circ \)
- \( m\angle DBC = 47^\circ \)
