Let's break down the information given in the problem:
The friend told the waiter to remove the $12 dessert from Stan's bill.
This means that the dessert reduced the bill by $12.
Stan tipped the waiter $20 on the reduced bill, which was a $15 tip.
This means that after the $12 reduction, the bill totaled $15 + $20 = $35.
Now let's write the equation to determine the amount of the original bill, b:
Original bill - $12 (reduction from the dessert) = $35 (total bill after reduction and tip)
Therefore, the equation is:
b - 12 = 35
Stan took lily to his friends restaurant on a date. The friend told the waiter to remove the $12 dessert from Stan's bill. Stan tipped the waiter $20 on the reduce d bill, which was a $15 tip. Fillbin the blanks to write an equation that will determine the amount of the original bill, b

Apologies for the previous incorrect response. Let's reassess the situation:
Stan tipped the waiter $20 on the reduced bill, which was a $15 tip.
This means that after the reduction, the bill was $20 + $15 = $35.
The original bill, before the reduction, can be represented by the variable "b". The reduction from the dessert is $12. So, the equation to determine the original bill can be written as:
b - $12 = $35
Stan tipped the waiter $20 on the reduced bill, which was a $15 tip.
