Answer:

The correct answer is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this math problem, you will need to divide 20.40 with 1 (1 is 100% as a decimal) and 0.15 (0.15 is 15% as a decimal).

--

[tex]20.40[/tex] ÷ [tex](1-0.15)[/tex]

--

First, subtract 1 and 0.15

[tex]1-0.15=0.85[/tex]

Next, divide 20.40 and 0.85

[tex]20.40[/tex] ÷ [tex]0.85 = 24[/tex]

--

Therefore, the final product of this math problem is 24
