Percent: 26%
Fraction: #\frac{13}[50}#

Explanation:

To go from decimal to percent, you need to multiply the number by 100, and vice-versa for percent to decimal.

Therefore, #0.26 \times 100 = 26%#
0.26 as percent is 26%

As a fraction, we know that the decimal is twenty-six hundredths. An alternative way to write 0.26 is #\frac{26}{100}#. Simplify this fraction to get #\frac{13}[50}#.
