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

Answer:
12 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Alyssa takes part in the triathlon. She cycles 4/5 of the route, runs 1/8 of the route, and swims the rest of the way. She swims 0.9 miles. Find the total distance of the triathlon route.
Total distance Alyssa cycled and ran =

=
Distance she swam = 1 - 37/40 = 3/40
3/40 of the distance is 0.9
the total distance = 40/3 x 0.9 = 12 miles
It is not necessary that the function decreasing over a given interval always be negative.
A function f(x) (value) decreases as x increases.
This does not mean that value of f(x) is negative.
It can have positive number as range.
