I hope this very poorly worded question is a translation from another language performed by a non-thinking machine....

The interpretation by the other tutor is one possible one.

My guess would be that the information says that some amount, increased by 20%, equals 14,895.

But I'm not going to spend any time working on a problem when I don't know what the problem really is.
