To do this, recognize that 24% = 0.24.
So, you're solving the equation 20.4 = 0.24*x. Divide both sides by 0.24, and you get x = 85.

If 20.4 is 24% of some unknown number, then 20.4 divided by 24 must equal 1% of it, right?
So if 0.85 =1% of the number, that number must be 0.85 times 100, or 85...
