Answer:
24% of a number is 6/25 of that number.
Step-by-step explanation:
The word percent can be broken down into two sub units: per and cent, meaning per for every cent i.e. 100.
So when we call a number percent, it means that the number is divided by 100.
If we have 24 percent, then we can write it as 24 / 100 which can further be simplified by finding their greatest common factor.
For 24 and 100, we have 4 as their greatest common factor which gives us a value of [tex]\frac{6}{25}[/tex].
