vSphere and Guest OS metrics measure different things. Memory usage for a VM object tracks "active" or "touched" memory, which is a heuristic of how many pages where actively read from / written to. 24 is 75% of 32 so either that VM was just powered on when you took the screenshot or it's memory is preallocated. In any case, not the same metrics, they are not supposed to match.
