First find the percent of the sales tax added with the tip amount, which is 20%
15% + 5% = 20%
and the percent amount to the original amount, so
20% + 100% = 120%
$18=120% of original amount (12/10 is the same thing as 120%), so
18/12*10=$15= price of meal before tax and tip!

ABC is similar to ADEF. Find x. GEOMETRY
azamat

The value of x in the given diagram is 10

<h3>Similar triangles </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the value of the side labeled x

First, we will find the value of side |BC|

By the <em>Pythagorean theorem</em>, we can write that

|BC|² = 12² + 16²

|BC|² = 144 + 256

|BC|² = 400

|BC| = √400

|BC| = 20

Now,

Since ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar, we can write that

|BC| / |EF| = P ΔABC / P ΔDEF

But,

P ΔABC = 12 + 16 + 20 = 48

Thus,

|BC| / |EF| = P ΔABC / P ΔDEF becomes

20/ |EF| = 48/24

20/x = 2

x = 20/2

x = 10

Hence, the value of x in the given diagram is 10
