Answer:

£135

Step-by-step explanation:

Original price = 100%

Percentage increase = 20%

New price = 100% + 20% = 120%

If 120% = £162

What about 100% = ?

= (100 x 162) ÷ 120

= 16200 ÷ 120

= £135

Answer:

£135

Step-by-step explanation:

I divided by 120, to get 1% of 120%(120% because of the 20% increase.) Then times by 100 to get the original price.

In the diagram below, ΔABC is inscribed in circle P. The distances from the center of circle P to each side of the triangle are

Supposing the sides with 6 and 8 is a right angle, you can create a new line from C and P, and find the length using the equation of a²+b²=c² or 6²+8²=c², with c equaling the radius of the circle.

After finding c, you will have to find the length from C to the midpoint of AC, using the same equation a²+b²=c². If both the lengths of C to the midpoint of AC, and A to the midpoint of AC are equal, you can do b+b to find the length of AC.

Using the same approach, you can find AB. Hope this makes sense, if not, I can clarify more.
