You buy a container of cat litter for $11.50 and a bag of cat food for x dollars. the total purchase is $16.80, which includes 5% sales tax. write and solve an equation to find the cost of the cat food.

let cat food = x

 total plus 5% = 105% = 1.05

1.05 * (11.50 + X) = 16.80

12.075 + 1.05x = 16.80

1.05x = 16.80-12.075

1.05x = 4.725

x = 4.725 / 1.05

x= 4.50

 the cat food cost $4.50

11.50 +4.50 = 16.00

16.00 * 0.05 = 0.80

16.00 + 0.80 = 16.80

glide reflection.

its mainly because the pattern will be infinite and will never end. it will look like a gilder or like a filpbook when set to motion.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
