In a box of crayons, 24% of the crayons are blue. there are 48 blue crayons in the box. select from the drop-down menu to correctly identify the total number of crayons in the box.

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.
