The original price of a product is 600 yuan per piece. Due to two consecutive price cuts, the current price is 384 yuan. If the percentage of price cuts is the same, how much is the price cut each time?

Let the average percentage of each price reduction be X. according to the equation: 600 (1-x) 2 = 384, the solution of the equation is X1 = 0.2 = 20%, X2 = 1.8 (rounding off). Answer: the average percentage of each price reduction is 20%
