Question

A number is increased by 20%. Work out the original number of the increase is 600

Answer 1

480

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number increased by 20% we can decrease it by 20% to get our number before it was increased.

20% of 600 is 120

600-120=480

Answer 2

The answer would be 480

Explanation:

The first step is to find out 20% of 600 and that would equal 120, the next step is to subtract 120 from 600 and the answer is 480.
