1. Take like terms together.
x-0.6x = 384
0.4x=384
2. Find the value of x.
x = 384/0.4 = 960
3. Take 60% of 960
60/100*960 = 576

Which is your answer.

Because x = 960 people is the total number who download songs from that site every month, it is given that 60% of them download Q Sam's songs, so 60% of 960 would be 576.
