Answer: C. Twenty-four is 40% of what number

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the answer in each question is x,

Then in A) What is 40% of 24


(24* 40)/(100) = x


(40)/(100) =(x)/(24)

In B) What percent is 24 of 40,


(24* x)/(100) = 40


(40)/(100) = (x)/(24)

In C) Twenty-four is 40% of what number


(x* 40)/(100) = 24


(40)/(100) = (24)/(x)

In D) Forty percent of 24 is what number,


(40* 24)/(100) = x


(40)/(100) =(x)/(24)

Thus, in problem C the given expression will use.
