A number increased by 20% of itself becomes 96. The original number is:
Answer: C
Increasing by 20% multiplies the number by 1.2, so \(1.2x = 96\) and \(x = 80\). Check: 20% of 80 is 16, and \(80 + 16 = 96\). Subtracting 20% from 96 gives 76.8, which is not the same thing - percentages are taken of the original, not the result.
