May be wrong and i am sure someone will correct me if i am but it appears the way the cpu usage is worked out against the multiple cores is why you are getting this output.
The way i worked it out is the way i believe monit works it out and the maths sort of make sense. 24 cores 24 x 100% = 2400 so if you divide 2400 by your usage from top 2400 / 578 = 4.2 which would give you your percentage shown in monit.
