let total thing be x
x * 3/ 4 = 24
x = 24 × 4 ÷3
x=36
x * 3/ 4 = 24
x = 24 × 4 ÷3
x=36

Fraction of things bought = 3/4
Find the fraction of things he forgot:
Fraction of things forgotten = 1 - 3/4 = 1/4
Find the total number of things he bought:
Forgot = 1/4
Forgot = 24 things
1/4 of the things = 24
4/4 of the things = 24 x 4 = 96
Answer: He went there to buy 96 things.
