To calculate the value of "600 decreased by 20%", we can multiply 600 by 0.8:

600 × 0.8 = 480

To calculate "600 decreased by 20% and then increased by 20% of the result", we need to multiply 480 by 1.2:

480 × 1.2 = 576

Therefore, 600 decreased by 20% and then increased by 20% of the result is 576.

To find out which number is greater and by how much, we can subtract 576 from 600:

600 - 576 = 24

So, 600 is greater than 600 decreased by 20% and then increased by 20% of the result, by 24.
