Answer: 8000 points last week.
Step-by-step explanation:
If she has increased by 75% in a week to get 14000 points then we can say that 175% times a number has to equal 14,000 , where the number of points she had last week.
175% * x = 14000
1.75x =14000 Divide both sides by 1.75
x= 8000
So she had 8000 points last week.
Check:
175% * 8000= 14000
1.75 * 8000 = 14000
14000 = 14000
