Answer 2

82.8

Explanation:

Step 1: If 29% of a number is 24, then what is 100% of that number? Set up the equation.

24 over 29% = Y over 100%

Step 2: Solve for Y

Using cross multiplication of two fractions, we get

29Y = 24 x 100

29Y = 2400

Y = 2400 over 100 = 82.76

If you round 82.76 to the nearest tenth you get 82.8.
