Number of angelfishes $=$$13$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Number of fishes in aquarium $=50$

Percent of angelfishes = $26\%$

  $x\%$ of $y$ is $\frac{x}{100}\times y$

From given information

Number of fishes in aquarium $=50$

Percent of angelfishes = $26\%$

Therefore

Number of angelfishes $=$$26\%$ of $50$

  $\Rightarrow$ Number of angelfishes $=$$\frac{26}{100}\times 50$

  $\Rightarrow$ Number of angelfishes $=$$\frac{1300}{100}$

  $\Rightarrow$ Number of angelfishes $=$$13$
