Answer 1

303, 704

Explanation:

First set up two fractions, 16.2/100 to represent the percentage and 49,200/x to represent the amount over the total.

Next, cross multiply 49200*100 and 16.2*x

You get 4,920,000 and 16.2x

Then divide by 16.2 on both sides.

You end up with approximately 303,703.7

Since you round to nearest whole number, your answer is 303, 704.
