The sales price is 35%.

The answer is 35%. This is because you have to find the difference between the greatest price and the least price. So, 40-26=14. Now divide 14 by the original price, 14/40=0.35. This as a percent is 35%.
You can use this when finding the percentage decrease or increase in an amount!
