Question

0.06%*26,500=1,590 1590+725+50=2365 26,500+2,365=28,865

Answer 1

"0.06%" reads "0.06 of 1%."  is that what you meant?

If so, then the equivalent decimal fraction would be 0.0006, and 0.0006(26500) would be 15.9.

If you meant "6% of 26500," that would be 1590.

Please note:  We do not multiply 26500 by 0.06%.  That percentage, 0.06%, must be converted into the equivalent decimal fraction before multiplication takes place.
