Percentages
The N% of a number M is calculated by:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{N*M}{100}[/tex]
For example, 15% of 280 is
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{15*280}{100}=42[/tex]
We know the total amount of people serving as of January is estimated to be 1,400,000 people and that 26% of them are serving in the Air Force.
Compute 26% of 1,400,000:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{26*1,400,000}{100}=364,000[/tex]
There are 364,000 people in the Air Force.
