Answer:

≈44.44%

Step-by-step explanation:

≈44.44%

To solve this, we can use a simple proportion.  

Assuming 18 = 100%...

[tex]\frac{18}{100}=\frac{26}{x}[/tex]

Then, using cross multiplication...

[tex]18x=100(26)[/tex]

[tex]18x=2600[/tex]

Now divide 18 from both sides.  

x ≈ 144.44

Now subtract 100 from ≈144.44, leaving us with

≈44.44%
