Given that: What number increased by 20% of it self is 360?

To find: The number

Solution: let the number is x

20% of x = 20x/100

Now, the number itself increased by 20%

So,

$x+\frac{20x}{100}=360\\\\\frac{100x+20x}{100}=360\\\\\frac{120x}{100}=360\\\\120x=360\times100\\\\120x=36000\\\\x=\frac{36000}{120}\\\\x=300$

The number is 300.
