X=96
Explanation:
You have to think backwards to solve this problem. To get 24, you would multiply .25 by some number ( in this case we don't know what that number is). We are going to call that number we don't know X.
So we know,
now, we need to solve for x and we can do that by diviving 24 by .25. You're going to get 96.

x=96
Explanation:
Let the Unknown number be
Then form an equation like this
x xx 25/100=24
Solve it for
x xx 25/100 xx 100 = 24 xx 100
To cancel 100, multiply both sides with 100
x xx 25/cancel100 xx cancel100 = 2400
x xx 25 = 2400
To cancel 25, divide both sides by 25
x xx 25/25 =2400/25
x xx cancel25/cancel25 =96
x=96
