Answer:

£1920

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount she spent in 2016 is 20% less than 2017. 20% less than is the same as 80% of the amount she spent in 2017. So, to find how much she spent in 2016, multiply 2400 by 0.80 (the decimal form of 80%):

2400 * 0.8 = 1920

For circle O, mCD=125° and m

Burka [1]

CA is a diameter of the circle, so $m\widehat{AC}=180^\circ$ , which means $m\angle AOB=m\angle AOD=m\widehat{AD}=180^\circ-m\widehat{CD}=55^\circ$ . Then $m\boxed{\angle ABO}=90^\circ-55^\circ=35^\circ$ .

This means $m\angle CBO=55^\circ-35^\circ=20^\circ$ . Also, if $m\angle AOB=55^\circ$ , then $m\angle BOC=180^\circ-55^\circ=125^\circ$ , which in turns tells us that $m\boxed{\angle BCO}=180^\circ-20^\circ-125^\circ=35^\circ$ .
