Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the tax, we take the price times the tax rate

2 = 40* rate

Divide each side by 40

2/40 =rate

.05 = rate

Changing to percent form

5% = rate

the equation a=1/2(b1+b2)h can be used to determine the area, a, of a trapezoid with height, h, and base lengths, b1 and b2. whi
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

b₁ = (2a – b₂h)/h; b₁ = (2a)/h – b₂; h = (2a)/(b₁ + b₂)

Step-by-step explanation:

A. <em>Solve for b₁ </em>

          a = ½(b₁ + b₂)h        Multiply each side by 2

        2a = (b₁ + b₂)h           Remove parentheses

        2a = b₁h + b₂h           Subtract b₂h from each side

2a - b₂h = b₁h                    Divide each side by h

         b₁ = (2a – b₂h)/h     Remove parentheses

         b₁ = (2a)/h – b₂

B. <em>Solve for h </em>

2a = (b₁ + b₂)h     Divide each side by (b₁ + b₂)

 h = (2a)/(b₁ + b₂)
