Answer:

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

Need answer 25 and answer 27

UNO [17]

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow \dfrac{-3}{8}x-20+2x>6$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow \dfrac{-3}{8}x+2x=6+20=26$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow \dfrac{-3+16}{8}x=26$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow \dfrac{13}{8}x=26$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow x=26\times \dfrac{8}{13}$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow x=8(2)=16$

#27

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow 0.5x-4-2x\leqslant 2$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow 0.5x-2x\leqslant=2+4=6$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow -1.5x\leqslant 6$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow x\leqslant\dfrac{6}{-1.5}$

$\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow x\leqslant 4$
