To convert a percent into a fraction, remove the % sign and put 100 under the number to form a fraction, then reduce to its lowest term:
24% = 24/100 = 12/50


is it not 12/5??

No, 12/5 = 240%. You can check this by dividing the top number (12) by the bottom number (5) and making a percent of the answer by moving the decimal 2 places to the right.
12 ÷ 5 = 2.4 = 240.0 = 240%

It would be 6/25
