When a bill is not paid by the due date, a late fee is added each month until the bill is paid. The values in the table represent the total amount due, in dollars, for each month that a payment remains overdue. Number of Months Overdue /Total Amount Due (dollars)

2 300
5 375
10 500
Using x for the number of months overdue and y for the total amount due, in dollars, construct a linear function that describes the relationship between the number of months the bill is overdue and the total amount due. Enter the equation of the function in the box, and use paper to show your work.

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
