I took 48÷24% to get the total number of crayons in the box because if you multiply a number by a percent you get whatever is like, 7% of 100, if you divide a number (48) by a percent (24%) you GET the original number (200) that was multiplied by the percent (24%) to get the number you HAVE (48). So, the total number of crayons is 200.

The total number of crayons that are in the box is 200.

Percentage of crayons that are blue = 24%

Number of blue crayons = 48

Let the total number of crayons be represented by x.

Therefore, the equation to solve the question will be:

= 24% × x = 48

0.24 × x = 48.

0.24x = 48

x = 48/0.24

x = 200

Therefore, the total number of crayons that are in the box is 200.
