Why are you guessing?
This is Math.

btw, you "guessed" incorrectly, you took 65% of 26

the 26 represents the 65% of the total students who happen to eat pizza.

let the number of students be x
65% of x = 26
.65x = 26
x = 26/.65 = 40

check: what is 65% of 40 ?

i love how people are unironically going around jiskha telling kids to do their own work, and genuinely think kids will be like "omg guys "spogbobfan122" says we should do our schoolwork i guess we should do our schoolwork"
