    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
