Question

The price of a car was decreased by 40% to £750.
What was the price before the decrease?
(I did get an answer but it was confusing)

Answer 1

Answer:

£1250.

Step-by-step explanation:

£750 is 100 - 40 = 60% of the original price.

60%  is equivalent to £750

1%    .............................   750 / 60

100%.............................  (750/60) * 100 = £1250.
