Answer 1

Explanation:

it says here this is a college question ? wow ..

anyway, remember what % calculation means.

it splits a main amount into 100 equal parts (1% is 1/100 of 100%).

so, if we want to know how many % another number is of the original 100%, we need to see how often 1% (original 100% divided by 100) fits into that number.

so, for any % question always identify 100% and 1%.

100% = 60,800,000

1% = 100%/100 = 60,800,000/100 = 608,000

how many % are 8,900,000 ?

8,900,000 / 608,000 = 14.63815789...%
