To find:

The amount paid by each boy.

We have,

Cost of gift = $20.48

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

[tex]20.48\times \dfrac{2}{3}\approx 13.653[/tex]

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

[tex]20.48\times \dfrac{1}{3}\approx 6.827[/tex]

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