Question

Please answer I will give brainiest. 24 is (8 1/3) percent of what number? I know how to do it but the SMALL decimal I am getting does not seem logically reasonable.

Answer 1

Answer:

288

Step-by-step explanation:

24 = 8 1/3 % of x

24 = (25/3 * 1/100)x

25/300 x = 24

x = 24 * 300/25

x = 7200/25

x = 288
