1. Subtract 24 from both sides

-3x = -27 - 24

Simplify -27 - 24 to -51

-3x = -51

Divide both sides by -3

x = -51/-3

Two negatives make a positive

x = 51/3

Simplify 51/3 to 17

x = 17

2. Regroup terms

n/5 - 17 = 33

Add 17 to both sides

n/5 = 33 + 17

Simplify 33 + 17 to 50

n/5 = 50

Multiply both sides by 5

n = 50 * 5

Simplify 50 * 5 to 250

n = 250

Marrrta [24]

Multiply the price of the meal by the sales tax. Tips are added in after tax has been applied, so it would not be added in to calculate the tax.

Tax= Meal Cost * Tax %

=$80 * 7%
convert % to decimal (7% ÷ 100)

=80 * 0.07

=$5.60 sales tax paid

ANSWER: $5.60 was the sales tax the customer paid.
