Answer:
70.42233122%
Step-by-step explanation:
A good way to do these is to make what you want to find in an English sentence. for example if you wanted to find out what 40% of 800 was, you'd say, "40% of 800 is...blank." For this problem, you would say, "26,102 is ___% of 37,065."
In these sentences, "of" indicates that you should multiply, "is" indicates that you should divide. Make sure you use the first of the two that comes in the sentence. For our 40% of 800 question, you would be multiplying because you used "of." DO NOT perform percentage operations without changing the percent to a decimal by dividing the percent by 100. So, we would get 0.4*800 which equals 320. Therefore, 320 is 40% of 800. Notice how "is" is used, and that 320/0.4=800.
Now for the real problem. 26,102 is ___% of 37,065. "is" is our first operation word, so we will be dividing. If the first operation word is between a value and a variable/blank, then skip it and go to the next value. So, 26,102/37,065 is our operation. We get 0.7042223122. Remember to multiply by 100 to get a percentage, so our final answer is ≈70.42%.
