Explanation:

The question asks to know the number of customers helped last month given that percentage change.

Let the number of customers helped last month be x customers.

This means :

14/100 * x = 2000 - x

14x = 100(2000-x)

14x = 200,000 - 100x

114x = 200,000

x = 200,000/14

x = 1,754

Approximately, 1,754 customers were helped last month
