Answer:
32
Step-by-step explanation:
We can write a proportion. We know that 24 is 75% of an unknown amount og cones. Let's call it x. We write equal ratios of [tex]\frac{75}{100}[/tex] comparing percent and [tex]\frac{24}{x}[/tex] comparing the 24 to the total number. We then set them equal.
[tex]\frac{75}{100} =\frac{24}{x}[/tex]
We then cross multiply across the equal sign from numerator to the opposite numerator.
75(x)=24(100)
75x=2400
We divide to find x.
x=32.
