Answer:
Let's assume the number be 100.
According to the problem , 100 is increased by 100%.
So, new number will be 100+100=200
Now 200 will decreased by 20%.
So, 20% of 200= 0.20*200= 40.
So, again the number has been changed into 200+40=240.
So, x=240

Answer:
x/1.6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let n represent the number. When n is increased by 100%, its new value is ...
n(1 +100%) = n(1 +1) = 2n
When this value is decreased by 20%, its new value is ...
(2n)(1 -20%) = (2n)(0.8) = 1.6n
This value is x, so the number is ...
1.6n = x
n = x/1.6 . . . . . . . divide both sides by 1.6
