Use multipliers:
The normal price the shop would sell the racquet for is:
1.6 * 200 = 320
'1.6' is the multiplier that I got using the percentage. Multiplying a value by 1.6 is the same as increasing the value by 60%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value.
Back to the question, now we can use the multiplier 0.75 because we are are reducing the price by 25% (0.25 as a decimal), so:
320 * 0.75 = 240
And now we want just the profit so we take off how much it cost the shop to buy ($200): 240 - 200 = 40

Answer: x < 1/2</h3>
This is the same as saying x < 0.5 since 1/2 = 0.5
====================================================
Work Shown:
2(1-x) > 2x
2*1 + 2*(-x) > 2x ..... distribute
2 - 2x > 2x
2 > 2x+2x .... adding 2x to both sides
2 > 4x
4x < 2 ..... flip both sides; flip the inequality sign
x < 2/4 ..... dividing both sides by 4; see note below
x < 1/2
Note: We do not flip the inequality sign here because we are dividing both sides by a positive value. The inequality sign would only flip if you divide both sides by a negative number.
