Answer 2

1% of 26 is $0.26 so 6% of $26 is $1.56

Step-by-step explanation

The answer for this is very easy all you have to do is for the first half you take 1% and turn it into a decimal which is 0.01 then you multiply 0.01 by 26 which is 0.26. For the next half of the problem, it's just like the last one you take 6% and turn it into a decimal which is 0.06 then you multiply 0.06 by 26 which is 1.56 and then you have your answer.
