You're nearly there. Just some more steps.
557 * x = 594 tells us
x = 594 / 557 (divide both sides by 557)
x ≈ 1.066427
When we've found this number we must realise the following:
the '1' in this answer is the 100% the car fixing costs (without taxes)
the '0.66427' stands for the tax rate.
To find the tax rate we multiply 0.66427 by 100, which gives us:
0.66427 * 100 = 6.6427 ≈ 7
So, rounded to the nearest %, the tax rate is 7%

Formulas for a rectangular prism:
Volume of Rectangular Prism: V = lwh.
Surface Area of Rectangular Prism: S = 2(lw + lh + wh)
Space Diagonal of Rectangular Prism: (similar to the distance between 2 points) d = √(l2 + w2 + h2)

Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
If n is the larger integer, n-1 is the smaller. The difference of consecutive integers is 1, so their sum is ...
n +(n -1) = 3(1)
2n = 4 . . . . . . . . . add 1
n = 2 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
The larger integer is 2.
oops sorry wrong question. sorry if I confused anyone :(

Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked sides are proportional, so we have ...
x/8 = (x +5)/12
3x = 2(x +5) . . . . . multiply by 24 to clear fractions
3x = 2x + 10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x

<em>Alternate solution</em>
We observe that the difference between the upper segment lengths is ...
(x +5) -(x) = 5
and the difference between the lower segment lengths is ...
12 -8 = 4
This means the upper segment lengths are 5/4 times as long as the lower segments. Then ...
x = (5/4)(8) = 10
