5% sales tax would be $0.70
<em>Answer:</em>
<em>The value of the number should be 1 (or less I think)</em>
<em>Step-by-step explanation:</em>
<em>At most means the highest value of the sum should be 27.</em>
<em>10x + 17 = 27</em>
<em>10x = 27 - 17</em>
<em>10x = 10</em>
<em>x = 10/10</em>
<em>x = 1</em>
<em>∴</em><em>The value of the number should be 1</em>
