To determine the percentage of Laura's earnings that she saved, follow these steps:
1. Identify the amounts involved:
- Laura earned $24.
- Laura saved $6.
2. Understand the goal:
- We need to find what percentage [tex]$6 is of $[/tex]24.
3. Use the percentage formula:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage saved} = \left( \frac{\text{Amount saved}}{\text{Amount earned}} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
4. Plug in the values:
[tex]\[
\text{Percentage saved} = \left( \frac{6}{24} \right) \times 100
\][/tex]
5. Simplify the fraction:
[tex]\[
\frac{6}{24} = \frac{1}{4}
\][/tex]
6. Convert the fraction to a percentage:
[tex]\[
\left( \frac{1}{4} \right) \times 100 = 25\%
\][/tex]
So, the percentage that Laura saved is:
[tex]\[
\boxed{25\%}
