Answer:

The number is 380

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be 'x'

[tex]\sf \dfrac{x}{20}=x-361\\\\\text{multiply the entire equation by 20}\\\\20*\dfrac{x}{20}=20*(x-361)[/tex]

x  = 20x - 20*361

x = 20x - 7220

Now subtract '02x' from both sides

x - 20x = -7220

  -19x   =-7220

Divide both sides by (-19)

     x = (-7220) ÷ (-19)

    x = 380
