Answer:

24/100 or 6/25

Explanation:

Remember that a percentage is a number out of a hundred. So 24% of a number in a fraction form would be 24/100. 24% is equal to 0.24 and since it ends in the hundreds place the fraction's denominator would be 100. If your teacher requires the simplified answer if would be 6/25 because 24 divided by 4 is 6 and 100 divided by 4 is 25.
