The coordinates of △ABC are A(12,8), B(10,18), C(4,16) . After a dilation, the coordinates are A'(6,4), B'(5,9), C'(2,8) A′(6,4)

Take note of that every single coordinate had their values divided by 2 after the dilation. Therefore, the scaling factor is 1/2, or .5
Answer:
The original number was 54.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a number is increased by 2.8%, then it is 102.8% of it's original number.
In mathematics, "of" in virtually all cases means "multiplied by".
Therefore, we do the opposite:
1. Convert to a decimal.
102.8% = 1.028
2. Divide by the decimal.

3. Round it to the nearest tenth.
54.47 rounds to 54.5.
