Question

multiply 24 by .25 then add the number you got to 24

well you are told

$$\frac{3}{4} = 24$$

so to find the full price, divide both sides of the equation by 3/4

remember when you divide by a fraction, you have to flip the fraction and multiply

so the original price is 

$$24 \times \frac{4}{3} = $$
