You can think of this as a fraction. What percentage of 24 is 3, comes down to taking 3 of 24 items. This makes it 3/24. When you divide the fraction out, you get 0.125. To turn that into a percentage, you simply multiply by 100. 0.125*100=12.5% you can check this by taking 12.5% of 24, which will give you an answer of 3.
