Answer:
5: 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44
6: 1, 5, 25, 125
7: 1, 5, 17, 85
8: 1, 3, 13, 39
Use this equation to solve the problem:
x - (x * .25) = 40
This equation is saying the original price times itself by 25% is 40.
x - (x * .25) = 40
Simplify.
x - .25x = 40
.75x = 40
Divide both sides by .75.
x = 53.33
The original price was $53.33
The equation is 40/12=3 1/3
