Question

We reached our goal by helping 2000 customers this month which is 14% more than last month."
Employee: "How much customers did we help last month?

Answer 1

If last month customers count X,

Then this month customers count = X x 14/100 + X

X x 14/100 + X = 2000

114X  = 2000 x 100

X = 2000x100/114

X = 1754.39

So last month customers count is approximately 1755

Answer 2

1720
