Please give me a detailed explanation of this question. I am very confused

Question

One month, a music site observed that 60% of the people who downloaded songs from its site downloaded Q Sam's latest single. The equation below represents this information, where x represents the total number of people who downloaded songs from the site that month:   x = 0.6x + 384
How many people who downloaded songs from the site that month downloaded Q Sam's latest single?

 

 

Answer 1

"x represents the total number of people who downloaded songs from the site that month"

 

60% may be represented as 0.60 or (60/100), whichever is needed by the problem.

 

"60% of the people who downloaded songs from its site downloaded Q Sam's latest single"  --   this is 0.6x

             or, it could be (60/100)x or 0.60x

 

Now, 

  (number of people who downloaded songs) = (number who downloaded Q Sam's latest single) + (those who didn't)

                              x                                 =              0.6x                                                    +     384

 

The 384 represent others who downloaded songs, but it was not Q Sam's latest single.

 

The problem asks,

   "How many people who downloaded songs from the site that month downloaded Q Sam's latest single?"

  or, reworded,

    "What is 0.6x?"

 

First, we must find x:

      x = 0.6x + 384

     0.4x = 384                [subtract 0.6x from both sides]

      x =  960                    [divide both sides by 0.4]

 

   0.6x = 0.6(960) = 576

 

576 people who downloaded songs that month downloaded Q Sam's latest single.
