Let x be the number. Then 60% of x is 0.6x.
x + 0.6x = 192, so x(1+0.6) = 192, or 1.6x = 192. Therefore x = 192/1.6 = 120.

Let,the # be x. Therefore,according to the problem 60% of x +x=192 => 60x/100 +x =192 => 3x/5 +x=192 =>8x/5 =192 => x=192 X5/8=120 .Therefore the no. is 120

let the number be a
60% of a = (a x 60)/100
so a + (a x 60)/100 = 192
a + 6a/10 = 192
10a + 6a = 1920
16a = 1920
a = 120

The number is 120. 120 times 1.6 is 192.

x is the unknown number
x + 60 % x=192
x+0.60x=192
1.60x=192
1.60x/1.60=192/1.60
x=120
120 + (0.60 * 120) = 192
120+72=192
192=192

exact 120
e.g.'X'+60%=192,
therefore,192=160% & so 100%='X'
=192*100/160='X'
=120
