Let $$ N $$ be the total number of girls in the class.

1. We know that $$ 80\% $$ of the girls are wearing jeans, which is expressed as:
   $$
   0.8N = 24
   $$

2. To find $$ N $$, divide both sides of the equation by $$ 0.8 $$:
   $$
   N = \frac{24}{0.8}
   $$

3. Calculating the value:
   $$
   N = 30
   $$

Thus, there are $$ 30 $$ girls in the class.
There are 30 girls in the class.
