She started with x.
After 1 year, she had 1.025x.
She withdrew <span>£1000, so now she has 1.025x - 1000.
Then it earned interest for 1 year and ended up as </span>1.025(1.025x - 1000).
The actual amount of money was £23 517.60.
Therefore,
<span>1.025(1.025x - 1000) = 23517.60
1.025x - 1000 = 22 944
1.025x = 23 944
x = 23 360
Her original deposit was </span><span>£23 360</span>
Do cross multiplication
<u>6</u> = <u>x</u>
18 12
Now cross multiply
(6)(12) = (18)(x)
72 = 18x
Divide both sides by 18
<u>72</u> = <u>18x</u>
18 18
4 = x
