Answer:
option d
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be x
40% of x = 0.40x
Increased by 40% = 28
That is ,
x + 0.40x = 28
1.40x = 28
[tex]x = \frac{28}{1.40}\\[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{28 \times 100}{1.40 \times 100 } = \frac{28 \times 100}{140} =\frac{4 \times 100}{20} = 4 \times 5 = 20[/tex]
Therefore, the number is 20
