jen and heather went to lunch. When the bill came, Jen discovered that she has only $8.00. Luckily, heather had enough money to pay the other part, or 3/5 of the total bill. How much did Heather Pay?

(1 - 3/5)x = $8.00

Solve for x.

$20.00

To find out how much Heather paid, we need to perform the following steps:

1. Determine the total bill.
2. Calculate how much Jen paid.
3. Calculate the remaining amount of the bill that Heather paid.

Let's start with step 1:

To find the total bill, we need to determine the whole amount represented by 1/5 of the bill. Since Heather paid 3/5, we can multiply 1/5 by 5 to get the total bill:

1/5 * 5 = 1

So, 1 represents the total bill.

Moving on to step 2:

We know that Jen paid $8.00, which represents 1/5 of the bill. To find the value of 1/5, we can divide $8.00 by 1:

$8.00 / 1 = $8.00

So, 1/5 of the bill is equal to $8.00.

Finally, let's complete step 3:

To find out how much Heather paid, we need to calculate the remaining 4/5 of the bill. We know that 1/5 is equal to $8.00, so we can multiply $8.00 by 4:

$8.00 * 4 = $32.00

Thus, Heather paid $32.00.
