Answer: There are 36 maximum number of laps he has to run in one day.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of laps on Monday = 24

Percentage of the maximum number of laps he has to run in one day =
$66(2)/(3)\%=(200)/(3)\%$

Let the maximum number of laps be 'x'.

According to question,

$(200)/(3* 100)* x=24\\\\(2)/(3)* x=24\\\\x=24* (3)/(2)\\\\x=36$

Hence, there are 36 maximum number of laps he has to run in one day.
