Answer:

Take 96 and divide it by 2 to get what ten percent would be: 48

Then just multiply 48 by ten for 100% (The number): 480.

The answer is 120.
We took away 20% of the original number, so we are left with 80% of the original number.
So we can say 80% = 96
Divide both sides by 80 to get 1%
And we get 1% = 1.2
And then multiply both sides by 100 to get 100% (aka, original number)
100% = 120 :)
