David and Eric went out to dinner. Their total bill was $45. They added 20% gratuity to the bill. If they split the bill in half, how much did each person spend? 1) Write an equation/expression for the word problem.

2) How much did each person spend?

1)(45x 1.2) /2

2) $27 each

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to multiply the initial bill amount by the gratuity percentage in decimal form (divided by 100)

45 x (20/100) = 45 x 0.2= $9

Now, we have to add the tip amount (9) to the initial bill amount  

45+9= $54 (total bill amount with tip)

(We could obtain the same result if we multiply the initial bill amount by 1.2)

Finally, we have to divide the final bill amount by 2:

54/2 = $27 each

1) (45x 1.2) /2

2) $27 each

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.

just take the area of the square and then the area of the circle then subtract the circle area from the squares area

step-by-step explanation:

for this pair of functions g(x)=x-2 and f(x)=|x| is (g o f)(a)= |a| -2

step-by-step explanation:

g(x)=x-2

f(x)=|x|

(g o f)(a)=?

(g o f)(x)=g(f(x))

(g o f)(x)=g(|x|)

(g o f)(x)=|x|-2

(g o f)(a)=|a|-2
