The price of a car was decreased by 40% to £750.
What was the price before the decrease?

Answer 1

Answer: £1250

Work Shown:

x = old price before discount

40% of x = 0.40x = amount saved

x-0.40x = 0.60x = new price after discount = 750 pounds

0.60x = 750

x = 750/(0.60)

x = 1250

Answer 2

Price
= (£750 / 60) x 100
= £1250
