I have a half-full bottle of water and it has more than 8 ounces in it. What would be the expression

The equivalent expression is .

Step-by-step explanation:

The best approach consists in translating the sentence given in the question into mathematical terms until an expression is complete:

(i) I have a half-full bottle of water

Translation: I use a bottle with a maximum volume capacity , measured in ounces, a half of it is full of water:

(ii) And it has more than 8 ounces in it

Translation: The volume occupied by the water is greater than 8 ounces. Hence, we get the following inequation:

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
