0.3% x ? = 24
The opposite of multiplication is division. 24 divided by 0.3% will give you the correct answer. Move the decimal place two spaces to the left (divide by 100). 0.3% becomes 0.003.
24 / .003 = 8000
Check your work by inserting the answer into the original problem: 0.003 (0.3%) x 8000 = 24 is true so the answer is correct.
