explane, jen and heather went to lunch. when the bill came. jen discovered that she had only 8 dollars. heather had enough money to pay the other paqrt, or 3/5 of the bill.

Please only post your questions once. Repeating posts will not get a quicker response. In addition, it wastes our time looking over reposts that have already been answered in another post. Thank you.

(1-3/5)x = 8 (to find the total bill)

As I indicated in your more recent post, Solve for x.
