Use an equation to solve.

2400=15x
160=x

160 total athletes competed in the meet.

Hope this helps!

The total athlete competed in the meet is 160.

What is the Ratio?

The ratio can be defined as the comparison of the fraction of one quantity towards others. e.g.- water in milk.

Let the total number of athlete = x

Since the ratio can be given as for total number of athlete
24/x=15/100
x=100 * 24/15
x = 160

Thus , The total athlete competed in the meet is 160.
