    Explanation:

    Total value of shares of Company 1:

    = $8 x 750

    = $6,000

    Total Value of shares of Company 2:

    = $13 x 1,300

    = $16,900

    Total Value of both companies = $6,000 + $16,900

    = $22,900

    Now, on Day 1 weights are equal to total value of share of Company 1 divided by Total value of both companies.

    Weight of Company 1 = $6,000 / $22,900

    = 0.2620

    = 26.20%
