Well. First We are told how much is damaged. So lets find out how much is good. Since having over 100% would be silly here, do 100-.23 to get 99.77% of the juice undamaged, or good.

Multiply 240,000 by 99.77% to get your answer. Remember to change the % into decimal. Do this by dividing 99.77 by 100. After that multiply it by the amount of cartons of juice.

I would also caution you to see it the 0.23% was really a percent and not a straight decimal 0.23. In that case, you are already in decimals so just subtract .23 from 1 ( 1 because 100% going to decimal is 100/100). Then multiply that by cartons of juice.
