Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First simplify the first expression.

Distribute.

1/4(8y-12) = 1/4 * 8y + 1/4 * -12

8y * 1/4 = 8y / 4 = 2y

-12 * 1/4 = -12 / 4 = -3

1/4(8y-12) = 2y - 3

2y - 12 != 2y - 3

So it is not equivalent.

Art [367]

Answer:

$121

Step-by-step explanation:

So if the meal cost $100, finding out the percentages is pretty easy.

The sales tax is 6%, and 6% of 100 is simply 6.

15% of 100 is simply 15.

So, adding the total cost of the meal plus the sales tax plus the tip is simply $121.
