First, you need to find x, which is the total number of people who downloaded music that month.

1x = 0.6x + 384
1x - 0.6x = 384
0.4x = 384
0.4x/0.4 = 384/0.4
x = 960

Now you have to look back at the question, which says that 60% of people downloaded this song. Simply take 60% of the value of x.

960 x 0.6 = 576.

There's your answer!
