Oh, dude, let me break it down for you. So, if we start with the number x and increase it by 20%, we get 1.20x. And we know that 1.20x is equal to 240. So, to find x, we just divide 240 by 1.20, giving us 200. So, the original number was 200. Easy peasy, like basic math, man.
Well, honey, if a number increased by 20 percent is now 240, then the original number must have been 200. Simple math, darling. Don't overcomplicate it.
(1.00) x + (0.20) x = 240
(1.20) x = 240
x = 240 / 1.2
x = 200
200
