What percentage of 400=104 pls help me

Answer:

26%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percentage of a number, I find it's often helpful to first write it as a fraction:  [tex]\frac{104}{400}[/tex] .

Percentages can be represented as a fraction by putting them over 100, eg. 25% is [tex]\frac{25}{100}[/tex]

.

Therefore, to get [tex]\frac{104}{400}[/tex] into a percentage, we need to change that 400 on the bottom to 100. How do we do that? Divide by four. However, anything we do to the bottom of a fraction, we must do to the top, so we divide both by four:

[tex]\frac{\frac{104}{4} }{\frac{400}{4} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{26}{100}[/tex]

As we saw earlier, if a fraction has 100 at the bottom, then the top of the fraction is the percentage. So 104 is 26% of 400.
