Answer :

Sure! Let's solve the question step-by-step:

We need to find what percent of 176 is 26.4.

1. Let's represent the percent we need to find by [tex]\( x \)[/tex].

2. The mathematical expression for finding a percentage is:
[tex]\[
\frac{{\text{{Part}}}}{{\text{{Whole}}}} \times 100 = \text{{Percent}}
\][/tex]

3. In this case, the "part" is 26.4 and the "whole" is 176. So, we put these values into the expression:
[tex]\[
\frac{{26.4}}{{176}} \times 100
\][/tex]

4. Carrying out the division:
[tex]\[
\frac{{26.4}}{{176}} = 0.15
\][/tex]

5. Now, multiply 0.15 by 100 to convert it to a percentage:
[tex]\[
0.15 \times 100 = 15
\][/tex]

Therefore, 26.4 is 15% of 176.
