Explanation:

Since they washed a total of 60 cars, then according to the question they washed 40%(40 per cent) of 60 cars on Sunday.

Per #cent# is simply per #hundred# or out of #hundred#.

We have to find out 40% of 60, which is #40/100 xx 60#

This is equal to #2400/100 = (24cancel(00))/(1cancel(00)) = 24#
