On Monday, thirty percent of the pies sold at the pie store were apple. If 24 apple pies were sold on Monday, how many of the other pies were sold that day?

I think I should start with 30/100 and 24/x but I am not sure. =80

I think I should start with 30/100 and 24/x but I am not sure. =80 80-24 = 56
24/x = .3

x = 80

so there are total of 80 pies

80-24 = 56 pies left unsold
Thank you!
it is 4
