The answer is 7%. To get this answer you simply divide 19,800,000 into 1,400,000 like so: 1,400,000/19,800,000 and you should get the answer: .070707... Next you multiply the decimal you just got by 100 to get it into percentage form like so: .070707...*100=7.0707... After you get your answer of 7.0707... you then round to the nearest whole number which would be 7. Thus, your answer is 7% :)
