To find the total volume of the toy model, we need to calculate the volumes of the individual components: the cone, cylinder, and hemisphere. We know the volume of the cone is given as \( 5x \).

Let's denote:

  • Volume of the cone, \( V_{\text{cone}} = 5x \).
  • Volume of the cylinder, \( V_{\text{cylinder}} \).
  • Volume of the hemisphere, \( V_{\text{hemisphere}} \).

Assuming that the toy designer has provided you with the required information to calculate the volumes of the other components or typically known proportions for the dimensions of a pencil, let's say:

  • \( V_{\text{cylinder}} \) (for a pencil body) is twice the volume of the cone. So, \( V_{\text{cylinder}} = 2 \times 5x = 10x \).
  • \( V_{\text{hemisphere}} \) (the eraser at the top, typically a hemisphere) is also calculated based on radius or given dimensions. Let's assume it is also similar or a ratio. We might estimate based on common proportions, so let's say \( V_{\text{hemisphere}} = V_{\text{cone}} = 5x \).

Putting it all together: \[ V_{\text{total}} = V_{\text{cone}} + V_{\text{cylinder}} + V_{\text{hemisphere}} = 5x + 10x + 5x = 20x. \]

Thus, the total volume of the toy model of the pencil is \( 20x \).

So, the answer is: 20x.
