Hello there! Your answer is approximately 14 students.

To solve this question, you want to start by finding 40% of 24. To do this, convert 40% into a decimal (divide by 100) and multiply by 24.

24 x 0.40 = 9.6.

But - you can't have 9.6 of a student. So, we round up to 10.

Note that the question asks how many students still need to complete their assignment, meaning we are looking for the ones that haven't finished. We found the amount for students that have finished, so subtract that from the total to see approximately how many still have to finish.

24 - 10 = 14

So, this means approximately 14 students still need to complete their assignment.

I hope I could help you, have a great rest of your day! :D
