Break up the given information into smaller expression before combining them to form the final expression.
d/3+$4
Practice makes perfect
To represent the scenario with an expression, let's approach the information in smaller pieces, or terms. We are told that the dinner has a price, to which tip is added.
price of the dinner + tip
It is given that the cost of the dinner is d and the tip is $12. Addition is represented by an addition symbol.
d + $12
Now we need to figure out how to divide that sum equally between 3 people.
We can divide any number into equal parts by performing a division. Therefore we need to divide the sum by 3.
(d+$12)/3
This is a complete expression, however it can be simplified.
