Alright, this is simple. You know what the new number is, 54. You know the original number was decreased by 40%. Your looking for the original number, X. So set up an equation.
x-.4x=54
When X stands by itself, it's perceived to value 1.00
1.00-.4x=54
(1.00-.4 [40%]=.6)
.6x=54
Divide both sides by .6 to eliminate everything else.
.6x/.6=54/.6
You get 90. Your original number was indeed 90.
To check it, we can do 90/40%, or 90/.4=54
~Hope this helps!

Explanation:
The scale factor is 2, which means we double each coordinate of each point. The general rule is
with k = 2. So we can say the more specific dilation rule is 
Something like W(-2,2) moves to W ' (-4, 4) after multiplying each coordinate by 2. Do the same for the other points as well.
The given preimage points
- V = (-2, -1)
- W = (-2, 2)
- X = (0, 2)
- Y = (3, -1)
will dilate to the corresponding image points
- V ' = (-4, -2)
- W ' = (-4, 4)
- X ' = (0, 4)
- Y ' = (6, -2)
as shown below. This causes the image to be larger compared to the preimage (since the scale factor is larger than 1). Any given point is twice as far from the origin as compared to before, which in turn means the distance between any two points is twice as much.
