Answer:

The population of city A is [tex]74\%[/tex] of the population of city B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y------> population of the city A

x-----> population of city B

we know that

[tex](100\%-26\%)=74\%=\frac{74}{100}=0.74[/tex]

so

[tex]y=0.74x[/tex]

therefore

The population of city A is [tex]74\%[/tex] of the population of city B
