    36%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    "8 kg of mixed nuts containing 26% peanuts"

    weight of peanuts: 26% * 8 kg = 0.26 * 8 kg = 2.08 kg

    "5 kg ... that contain 52% peanuts"

    weight of peanuts: 52% * 5 kg = 0.52 * 5 kg = 2.6 kg

    Total weight of peanuts: 2.08 kg + 2.6 kg = 4.68 kg

    Total weight of mixed nuts: 8 kg + 5 kg

    percent of peanuts: (4.68 kg) / (13 kg) * 100% = 36%
