It is very easy. Just multiply 400 with 26 and divide it by 100. You will get the percentage of 26. In this question the answer is 104.

You multiply 400 x .26 = 104 so 26% of 400 is $104.

(to get a general idea of the answer, you can figure out, in your head, what 50% is ($200) and half of that, 25% is $100)

The answer from zuhail is correct.
Instead of trying to remember the steps, and get them wrong, try to understand the reasoning.
Cent means 100, as in century (100 years), or 100 cents equal 1 dollar.
Per means for each. Therefore, Per cent (%) means for each 100.
So, 26% means there are 26 for each 100. That's all.

All you have to do is to find out how many 100's you have. In this case (400/100 = 4).
Then the final answer is 26 x 4 = 104.

Most people will take a shortcut, and just mutiply 400 by 0.26 because 26% means 26 per 100, (26 divided by 100 = 0.26)
Try doing a few more so that it becomes natural to you. Knowing how to do percentage is very useful, especially if you have to deal with money, work or get a mortgage.

It is also good to remember some simple % numbers to use as a quick check: 100% means One (100 divided by 100),
50% means Half (50 divided by 100 = 1/2),
75% means three-quarters (75 divided by 100 = 3/4), and
25% means one-quarter (25 divided by 100 = 1/4).

In your case, 26% is slightly more than 1/4, and 1/4 of 400 is 100, so the answer should be a little more than 100. And that will be your quick check. So if you get an answer that is way off, you'll know that it is not correct.
Good luck.

It is very easy to find percentages. In order to find percentage of a number, of to find the percent value of a number, you can always use a simple formula:
X% of a number = y
Putting the values given above
x% of 45 = 30
x/100x45=30
x = 30 x100/45
x= 66.66%
Hence 35 is 66.66% of 45

Think about it this way, what= x (which is ur variable) Percentage= out of 100 or divide by 100, of=mutiply, and is= a equal sign. And to make it more clear i would rephrase it into "what percent of 367,894 is 39?" so this question would translate into a math equation saying "x/100 X 367,894=39" (x divided by 100 times 367,894 equals 39) and then you would solve it agebrically which should give you some where around 0.0106
