Yes, that is correct. To find the number of cars sold last month, you can set up a proportion using the given information. Let's call the number of cars sold last month "x". Since this month's sales are 40% greater than last month's, we can express the sales this month as 1.4x (which is equal to 100% + 40% = 140% of x).

To find x, we can set up the following proportion:

1.4x = 112

To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 1.4:

x = 112 / 1.4

Simplifying the right side of the equation gives:

x = 80

So, 80 cars were sold last month.
