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)

1250$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Pf = Pi - D(Pi) = 750$

Where Pf is the final price, Pi the initial price and D(Pi) the discount of Pi. We also know that:

D(Pi) = 40% of Pi

We also know that we can rewrite 40% as 0.4, so:

Pf = Pi - 0.4(Pi) = 750$

Group Pi:

Pi(1-0.4) = 750$

Therefore:

Pi = 750$ / 0.6 = 1250$

£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.

false

step-by-step explanation:

false.   two legs of the trapezoid would be congruent, but the other two would not.   were all the legs congruent, then we'd have a square; were the 2 shorter sides congruent and the 2 longer sides also congruent, we'd have a rectangle.
