B.24%

C.65%

D. 154%

Answer 1

We set up an equation: 26/40= ?/100

Cross multiply:
40*?= 26*100
⇒ ?= 26*100/40= 65

The correct answer is C. 65%~

Answer 2

26 is 65% of 40. To find a percent of something you divide the part by the whole and then times that by 100 to transfer it from demical form to percent form.

(part/whole) x 100
(26/40) = 0.65
0.65 x 100 = 65
65%
