See a solution process below:

Explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100",

Therefore 24.5% can be written as #24.5/100#.

#24.5/100 = 24.5/100 xx 10/10 = 245/1000 = (5 xx 49)/(5 xx 200) =#

#(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(5))) xx 49)/(color(red)(cancel(color(black)(5))) xx 200) = 49/200#
