0.24 is 36% of what number

X/100 =.24/36

100*.24 = x*36

24/36 = 36x/36

.67 = x

rounded to the nearest tenth

From the information we have we know that

36% of that number is 0.24

We find out first what just 1% of the number will be.

0.24 = 36% (36% is 0.36 when you remove the percent)

x = 1 % (1% is 0.01 when you remove the percent)

where x is 1% of that number.

Cross multiplying the above equation we get:

x * 0.36 = 0.24*0.01

x = 0.024 / 0. 36

so 1% of that number is 0.24 * 0.01 / 0.36

Therefore 100% of that number will be:

0.24 * 0.01 / 0.36 * 100 = 0.24/0.36 = 0.66

Therefore the number is 0.66
