#1 cassie and anna went out to dinner together. cassie paid 8 dollars more than
anna. if anna paid 40% of the bill, then what was the total price of the bill?

$40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total bill be "x"

Now,

Anna paid 40% (40/100 = 0.4) of the bill, that means

Cassie paid 100 - 40 = 60% of the bill, that is 60/100 = 0.6

Anna paid 0.4x  &  Cassie paid 0.6x

Cassie's amount is 8 dollar more, so we can write:

0.6x - 8 = 0.4x

Now, we solve for x:

0.6x - 0.4x = 8

0.2x = 8

x = 8/0.2

x = 40

THe total bill is $40

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b

a
