Answer:

the expression is (0.2)(38)

Explanation:

Joelle would like to tip her hairdresser 20%.

Haricut bill was $38.00.

To find the tip amount, we multiply the tip percentage by the bill amount

tip percentage is 20%. To remove percentage we divide by 100


(20)/(100) =0.2

Tip amount =
0.2 \ times \ 38

So the expression is (0.2)(38)
