What is the value of x?
Enter your answer in the box.

x = ___

x is equal to seven.

Step-by-step explanation:

because the two horizontal lines are parallel, the ratios of the side segments between them will be the same.

That means you can say:

(2x + 10) / 3 = 40 / 5

(2x + 10) / 3 = 8

2x + 10 = 24

2x = 14

x = 7

step-by-step explanation:

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
