Question

A mean ogre stole 24 of your muffins. That was 3/4 of them! With how many did u start with?

Answer 1

Answer:

You started with 32 muffins

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent how many muffins you started with.

Then three-fourth of this muffins equal 24.

This gives us the equation:

$\frac{3}{4}x = 24$

Multiply both sides by 4/3 to obtain:

$\frac{4}{3} \times \frac{3}{4}x = 24 \times \frac{4}{3}$

This simplifies to give:

$x = 8 \times 4$

$x = 32$
