Answer 1

Answer:To find the original price of the sofa before the sale, we can use the formula:

sale price = original price * (1 - discount rate)

Substituting the given values, we get:

1680 = original price * (1 - 0.3)

Solving for the original price, we get:

original price = 1680 / (1 - 0.3) original price = 1680 / 0.7 original price = 2400

Therefore, the sofa cost £2400 before the sale.
