Question

In the month of November, a dance troupe had 300 members.



In December, there was a 20% decrease in the members.



In January, there was a 20% increase from the month before.



How many members were there in January?

Answer 1

Answer:

432 members

Step-by-step explanation:

300*1.2=360,360x1.2=432

300 represents the starting number, we multiply it by 1.2 because 1.2 means 20%, when we multiply, we get 360, that means that there are 260 members in december, so then we mutiply 360*1.2 in order to find out how many members there are in january, 360*1.2=432
