Question

When 1600 is increased by 20% and the resulting number is decreased by y% the answer is 1536. Find the value of y?

Answer 1

1600 increased by 20% is 1920.

Answer 2

Now
1920 x (y/100) = 1536

Am I right?

Answer 3

Now when i solve for y I get 80 which is wrong.

Answer 4

So how do I solve

Answer 5

oops reduction is 384

so 384/1920 * 100 = 20%

y = 20% reduction

Answer 6

1920 - 1920*(y/100) = 1536

Answer 7

Thank you @medisynergi and @campbell_st

Answer 8

Solve the following for y:
(1600*1.2)*(1 - y) = 1536
y = 0.2 or 20% off
