Answer:
Each person paid $24.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find 20% of 40. Since 20% is equal to 1/5, we can divide 40 by 5 to get 8. Together they tipped $8.
2. We know that the total amount they paid was $48, so we divide that in half to get the answer. 48 divided by 2 is 24.

Answer:
multiply by 3 and divide by 2 to get 6x -y = 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
A standard form equation has mutually prime integers for coefficients, and the leading one is positive. We can get that here by multiplying by 3 (to eliminate the denominator) and dividing by 2 (to remove that common factor). The result is ...
4(3/2)x -(2/3)(3/2)y = 8(3/2)
6x -y = 12
