C

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the number to be = x

Interpreting the question

( 24 - x )/x =  3

By multiplying through by x , or cross multiply using a layman language,

     24 - x = 3x, since 3 is an integer

solving for x

   3x + x = 24

        4x = 24

         x  = 6

Therefore, the option is C
