1600

Step-by-step explanation:

Do 400 : 0.25 = 1600

0.25 because of the discount

Check by doing 1600 X 0.25 and it should be 400 which it is

Step-by-step explanation:

Now £400

£400=75%, right? (100%-25%=75%)

£400 x 1.25% (original value with 25% more to make it back up to 100 percent)

£400 x 1.25%=£500
