Answer: 40%

Explanation:

to find percent you need to set up a proportion: part/whole=percent/100

our whole is 60 (there are 60 minutes in an hour) and our part is 24 minutes

our percent is x (the value we need to find)

so we can set our proportion like this: 24/60=x/100

first you cross multiply to get: 60x=2400

then you divide by 60 to get: x=40

so 40 is your answer
