Let's denote the number as \( x \). According to the problem, one-quarter of the difference of the number and 3 is equal to 2. We can write this as an equation:
\[
\frac{1}{4}(x - 3) = 2
\]
To solve for \( x \), we'll first multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to eliminate the fraction:
\[
x - 3 = 8
\]
Next, we add 3 to both sides:
\[
x = 8 + 3
\]
\[
x = 11
\]
Thus, the number is **11**.
