A car costs £1200 in a sale. It was reduced by 20%. What was the original price?

£1200 is 80% of the original price.We need to find what 100% of the original price is.if £1200 is 80% then to find 1% we can divide it by 80.
1200/80=15
£15 is 1% of the original price to find 100% we can multiply this by 100
15 x 100= £1500100% is £1500 and therefore that is your original price

The first three terms of a sequence are a, b, c. The term-to-term rule of the sequence is 'Multiply by 2 and subtract 4'. Show that c = 4(a – 3).


f(x) = (x+1)^2 and g(x) = 2(x-1); Show that gf(x) =2x(x+2)


factorise 3A^b+ 12A^2 B^2 + 9 A^5 B^3
