1).24 is 10 percent of what number?
If you take 10 percent of a number and get 24, then what is that number? In other words, you know that 10 percent of a number is 24 and you want to know what that initial number is.To solve this problem you multiply 24 by 100 and then divide the total by 10 as follows: (24 x 100) / 10
When we put that into our calculator, we get the following answer is:240
