Answer:

She had 300 jelly beans total.

Step-by-step explanation:

0.08/24=300

0.08 is 8% in decimal form. To convert a percent to decimal form just divide the percent by 100

8/100=0.08

To find the total number of jelly beans divide the amount of green jelly beans by the percent.

24/0.08=300

Now to check your answer multiply the total number of jelly beans by the percent.

300•0.08=24
