Price of one taco = x; price of 2 tacos = 2xPrice of salad = $2.50Sales tax = 8% of the combined price of two tacos and a salad, namely .08(2x + 2.50)Tip = constant fee = $3.00Total bill = $13.80 Therefore the equation becomes

2x + 2.50 + .08(2x + 2.50) + 3 = 13.80 Step 3:  Solve for x; isolate the variable 2x + 2.50 + .16x + .20 + 3 = 13.80 (using the distributive property to multiply 2x and 2.5 by .08).2.16x + 2.70 + 3 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 (combining like terms)2.16x + 5.70 = 13.80 - 5.70 (subtraction property of equality)2.16x = 8.10x = 8.10/2.16 = 3.75 (division property of equality) Step 4: Interpret mathematical answer in context of original word problem. The cost of a single taco is $3.75 Step 5: Verify that answer makes sense for problem. 2 Tacos would cost $7.501 Salad would cost $2.50Food bill subtotal would be $10.00Sales tax is 8% of $10 or 80 centsTip is $3 Confirm 7.5 + 2.5 + .8 + 3 = $13.80

How do you determine volume?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:   V = πr 2 h

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volume of a cylinder, you must know its height and the radius of the circular base (the distance from the center of the circle to its edge) at the top and bottom. The formula is V = πr 2 h, where V is the Volume, r is the radius of the circular base, h is the height, and π is the constant pi.

Find the value of x.
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 44^2 = 55^2

x^2 + 1936 = 3025

3025-1936 = 1089

sqrt(1089) = 33

x = 33

In the circle below, suppose m FEH=272º and m EFG=116º. Find the following.​
adoni [48]

Answer:

m∠FEH = 44°

m∠EHG =  64°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The given information are;

The angle of arc m∠FEH = 272°, the measured angle of ∠EFG = 116°

Given that m∠FEH = 272°, therefore, arc ∠HGF = 360 - 272 = 88°

Therefore, angle subtended by arc ∠HGF at the center = 88°

The angle subtended by arc ∠HGF at the circumference = m∠FEH

∴ m∠FEH = 88°/2 = 44° (Angle subtended at the center = 2×angle subtended at the circumference)

m∠FEH = 44°

2) Similarly, m∠HGF is subtended by arc m FEH, therefore, m∠HGF = (arc m FEH)/2 = 272°/2 = 136°

The sum of angles in a quadrilateral = 360°

Therefore;

m∠FEH + m∠HGF + m∠EFG + m∠EHG = 360° (The sum of angles in a quadrilateral EFGH)

m∠EHG = 360° - (m∠FEH + m∠HGF + m∠EFG) = 360 - (44 + 136 + 116) = 64°

m∠EHG =  64°.
