See a solution process below:

Explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore x% can be written as #x/100#.

Therefore, we can write and solve for #x#:

#x/100 = 24/50#

#color(red)(100) xx x/100 = color(red)(100) xx 24/50#

#cancel(color(red)(100)) xx x/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(100))) = cancel(color(red)(100))color(red)(2) xx 24/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(50)))#

#x = 48#

#24/50 = 48/100 = 48%#
