    Answer: C

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Considering the number to be = x

    Interpreting the question

    (24 - x) / x = 3

    By multiplying through by x, or cross multiply using a layman language,

    24 - x = 3x, since 3 is an integer

    solving for x

    3x + x = 24

    4x = 24

    x = 6

    Therefore, the option is C
