Answer:

x = 30

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find x

Given that:

20% of x = 12 % of (x +20)

This can be written as:

0.2(x) = 0.12 (x + 20)

0.2x = 0.12x + 2.4

Subtracting 0.12x from both sides we get:

0.2x - 0.12x = 0.12x - 0.12x + 2.4

0.08x = 2.4

Dividing both sides by x we get:

0.08/0.08x = 2.4/0.08

x = 30

I hope it will help you!
