Answer 2

The number is 192.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Let the number is x.

It is given that the 12.5% of what number is 24.

As we assumed that the number is x, so above information can be written as:

`(12.5)/(100)* x=24`

`(125)/(1000)* x=24`

`125x=24000`

`x=(24000)/(125)`

`x=192`

Hence, the number is 192.
