Question

26 is what percent of 53? ____% Round to the nearest hundreth

Answer 1

The percent is given by the expression:

`\text{Total x}(percent)/(100)=\text{ The percent of total}`

So, in this case:

`53*(percent)/(100)=26`

We have to isolate percent with inverse operations to solve equations:

`\begin{gathered} \text{percent}=(26*100)/(53) \\ \text{percent}=(2600)/(53)=49.06\text{ percent} \end{gathered}`

26 is the 49.06% of 53
