Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of cups of lemonade

y ----> the number of cups of punch

we know that

The ratio of cups of lemonade to the cups of punch is equal to

[tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{6}{24}[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Isolate the variable x

[tex]x=\frac{1}{4}y[/tex]

[tex]x=0.25y[/tex]

To convert to percentage multiply by 100

[tex]x=(0.25y)(100)[/tex]

[tex]x=25y[/tex] ----> in percentage

That means----> the percent of lemonade in  the recipe is 25%
