are u sure ur right or u guesing

x is the total of number people who downloaded the music
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.
