The question says "
the strength of the solution went down by one-third".
The original strength of the solution is given as 24%.
One third of 24% is 8%. So the new strength of the solution is 24-8 = 16%.
Hope that helps.
Regards.

I had the equation set up properly but got thrown off by what the right side of the equation should look like.
