You need to find 7.5% of 2,400,000.

To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number. Change the percent into a decimal by dividing the percent by 100 which means, move the decimal point two places to the left.

7.5% * 2,400,000 =

= 7.5/100 * 2,400,000

= 0.075 * 2,400,000

= 180,000

Answer: 180,000
