Question 24

A large square region is paved with $n^2$ shaded square tiles, each measuring $s$ inches on a side. A border $d$ inches wide surrounds each tile. The figure below shows the case for $n=3.$ When $n=24,$ the $576$ shaded tiles cover $64\%$ of the area of the large square region. What is the ratio $\frac{d}{s}$ for this larger value of $n?$
