So,

We are trying to find what PERCENT the sale price is of the sale price. To do that, we will have to divide the sale price by the original price and simplify.

$\frac{26}{40} = \frac{2*13}{2*2*2*5} = \frac{13}{2*2*5} = \frac{13}{20} = \frac{65}{100}$

In percent form, it is 65%.

The sale price, $26, is 65% of the original price, $40.

If the glasses were origanum 40, and were on sale for 26,we minus them from eachother to find out how much money was saved. So 40-26= 14, if $14 was saved we put 14 over the original price and times it buy 100 14/40x100= 35% So 35% was saved. 100-35= 65. Therefore 65% of the original price was paid and 35% was saved.
