Question

26 is what % of 65.

Answer 1

The answer is 40 percent

Answer 2

Suppose that 65 is the 100%, then we can find the percentage that is 26 from 65 using a rule of three:

`\begin{gathered} 65\rightarrow100\% \\ 26\rightarrow x\% \\ \Rightarrow x=(26\cdot100)/(65)=(2600)/(65)=40 \\ x=40\% \end{gathered}`

therefore, 26 is 40% of 65
