Answer:

250 lunches

Explanation:

If 24% order lunch, that means that 76% bring their lunch (100% - 24% = 76%)

We are trying to find 76% of what number is 190. Let x stand for the total number of lunches

.76x = 190 Divide both sides by .76 76% as a decimal is .76


(.76x)/(.76) =
(190)/(.76)

x = 250
