If the packet of washing powder is advertised as having "20 extra powder," this implies that the current weight of 1.32 kg includes an additional 20% of the original amount. To find the original amount, you can let the original weight be ( x ). The equation can be set up as ( x + 0.2x = 1.32 ), which simplifies to ( 1.2x = 1.32 ). Solving for ( x ) gives ( x = 1.32 / 1.2 ), resulting in an original pack weight of 1.1 kg.
