Given:
15 percent of the workers earn minimum wage
24 workers earn minimum wage

Find the total number of workers.

15% is the percentage of the part of a whole.
24 is the value of the part.

To get the value of the whole, we divide the part by its percentage

24 ÷ 15% = 160

There are a total of 160 workers.
