    Given:

    Cost of gift = $20.48

    Mark pays for \dfrac{2}{3} of the gift and John pays for the remaining \dfrac{1}{3}.

    To find:

    The amount paid by each boy.

    Solution:

    We have,

    Cost of gift = $20.48

    Mark pays for \dfrac{2}{3} of the gift. So, the amount paid by Mark is:

    20.48\times \dfrac{2}{3}\approx 13.653

    John pays for the remaining \dfrac{1}{3}. So, the amount paid by John is:

    20.48\times \dfrac{1}{3}\approx 6.827

    Therefore, the amount paid by Mark and John are $13.653 and $6.827 respectively.
