Answer:
40%
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Set up an equation.
- [tex]\frac{x}{100}(60)=24[/tex]
Step 2: Simplify both sides of the equation.
- [tex]\frac{x}{100}(60)=24[/tex]
- [tex]\frac{60}{100}x= 24[/tex]
- [tex]\frac{3}{5}x=24[/tex]
Step 3: Multiply both sides by 5/3.
- [tex]\frac{3}{5}x* \frac{5}{3}=24 * \frac{5}{3}[/tex]
- [tex]x = \frac{120}{3}[/tex]
- [tex]x = 40[/tex]
Therefore, the missing number is 40 to make 40% of 60 = 24.
