Respuesta :

Answer

0.18b = 2.34

Step-by-step explanation

Let's call b to the bill

The tip is 18% of the bill. To find the 18 percent of a number, we need to multiply this number by 18 and then divide by 100. In this case, the tip is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} tip=\frac{18}{100}b \\ tip=0.18b \end{gathered}[/tex]

The amount of the tip is $2.34, then:

[tex]0.18b=2.34[/tex]
