If the teacher is asking for Empirical Probability then the chances of landing on tails are 24/60 = 2/5 = 0.4 = 40%
So the empirical probability, based on these trials, of landing on heads is 100% - 40% = 60%
Final Answer: 60%
Note: this is assuming your teacher wants Empirical Probability and not Theoretical Probability.
