Josh ran 14.8 km in the morning. After lunch, he continued running. When he finished the run, he had covered 31.1 km in all. Write an equation that can be used to find how far Josh ran after lunch.

14.8 + x = 31.1

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the best equation to put as the answer.

If you want to solve it, this is how you would solve it.

14.8 + x = 31.1

Make it so that the variable x is by it's self.

14.8 + x - 14.8 = 31.1 - 14.8

x = 31.1 - 14.8

Now solve the subtraction problem.

x = 31.1 - 14.8 = 16.3

So, now you have your answer

x = 16.3

To make sure it's correct, use the addition method.

16.3 + 14.8 = 31.1

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
