24/66 as a percentage is 36.36%. This is the value you get when you express the fraction in terms of a whole. The fraction itself can be reduced to 4/11, which still represents the same part of a whole.
The number 36.36% tells you that 24 out of 66 parts make up just over a third of the whole. In everyday terms, if you had 66 pieces of candy and you took 24 of them, you would have taken about 36 out of every 100 pieces.
Knowing both the fraction and its percentage form is useful. The fraction shows the exact relationship between the two numbers, while the percentage makes it easier to compare with other values that are already in percent form. This dual view helps in schoolwork, budgeting, or any situation where you need a quick sense of proportion.
