Answer:
You started with 32 muffins
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent how many muffins you started with.
Then three-fourth of this muffins equal 24.
This gives us the equation:
[tex] \frac{3}{4}x = 24[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 4/3 to obtain:
[tex] \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{3}{4}x = 24 \times \frac{4}{3} [/tex]
This simplifies to give:
[tex]x = 8 \times 4[/tex]
[tex]x = 32[/tex]
