Let's call the number "x". The difference between the number and 3 is x-3, and one-quarter of that difference is (x-3)/4. The equation representing the given information is:

(x-3)/4 = 2
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4:
x-3 = 8
Adding 3 to both sides of the equation, we get:
x = 11
Therefore, the number is 11.
