Answer:

$\dfrac{xy}{pm}=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

If x varies directly as the product of p and m, and inversely with y, the relation can be written ...

x = k(pm)/y . . . . where k is the constant of proportionality

__

This can be solved for k:

k = xy/pm

For the given values, the value of k is ...

k = (2)(4)/((0.5)(2)) = 8

Then the relation between the variables can be written ...

(xy)/(pm) = 8

I buy a MP3 player for £40 in a sale where it was 20% off. What was the original price

20% off means you paid only 80% of the original price.
0.8x=40
x=40÷0.8=50
so the original price is 50
