    Set up a proportion:

    3/4/24 = 1/x

    Cross multiply:

    3/4x = 24

    Divide 3/4 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 4/3:

    x = 24 * 4/3

    x = 96/3

    x = 32

    So you had a total of 32 muffins, now subtract this from the amount that blew away to find out how many you have left:

    32 - 24 = 8

    So you have 8 muffins left.
