First, there was $37.50.
Then, there was a tax of 8%.
Then, there was a tip of 18%.
Since the tip is after the tax, it's not going to affect it, and we can essentially ignore it.

The real question here is just <em>what is 8% of $37.50?</em>

To find the percent of something, first you need to put the percent as a decimal.

8% in decimal form is 0.08 (If you think about it literally, they're both 8 hundredths)

Finally, just multiply the percent in decimal form by the number.

37.50 dollars × 0.08 = 3 dollars.<em />

8%= .08 37.50 x .08= $ 3.00 using only the amount of the original bill,since that was what the tax was based on hope this helps

aleksley [76]

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Consider the triangle on the left and calculate the third angle

Subtract the sum of the 2 angles from 180

third angle = 180° - (75 + 50)° = 180° - 125° = 55°

Consider the triangle on the right

The third angle = 55° ( vertical angles )

Subtract the sum of the 2 angles from 180

x = 180 - (55 + 85) = 180 - 140 = 40
