Let us assume the unknown number to be = x
then
50% * x = 24
(50/100) * x = 24
x/2 = 24
x = 24 * 2
x = 48
The unknown number that was required to be found is 48. This is the easiest procedure for finding the result for such type of problems. It might happen that the numbers given in the question is big or complicated, but still this procedure will surely yield the correct result.
