Let x =  price of the bike before a sales tax.

The price after a sales tax of 8% is
x + 0.08x = 1.08x dollars

Because the price paid was $171.18, therefore
1.08x = 171.18
x = 171.18/1.08 = $158.50

Answer: 158.50

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

using the given information: area = 40 and base = 20

you now have 40 = 1/2 x 20 x height

divide both sides by 1/2

80 = 20 x height

divide both sides by 20

height = 80 / 20

height = 4 in.
