Question

michele_laino · Answer

please in order to solve your problem, keep in mind that 
$$0.14=\frac{ 7 }{ 50 }$$
furthermore to each fraction corresponds a number of brownies,  namely to 7/50, corresponds 
$$\frac{ 7 }{ 50 }*50=7$$
brownies. Please now do the same using other fraction numbers

hint: to 24% corresponds this fraction
$$\frac{ 24 }{ 100 }=\frac{ 12 }{ 50 }$$
