To determine what 6% of a sum of Rs 24 is, we can follow these steps:
1. Understand the percentage concept: When we say 6%, we mean 6 out of every 100 units.
2. Convert the percentage to a decimal: Percentages can be easily converted to decimals by dividing by 100. So, 6% becomes [tex]\( \frac{6}{100} \)[/tex].
3. Multiply the decimal by the total amount: To find 6% of Rs 24, we multiply [tex]\( \frac{6}{100} \)[/tex] by 24.
So, the steps are:
[tex]\[
\text{6% of 24} = \left( \frac{6}{100} \right) \times 24
\][/tex]
4. Carry out the multiplication: [tex]\( \left( \frac{6}{100} \right) \times 24 \)[/tex]
The result is:
[tex]\[
1.44
\][/tex]
Therefore, 6% of Rs 24 is Rs 1.44.
