Answer:

Im sure the answer is 4800, please correct me if im wrong

Explanation:

My reasoning: Usually people would use 1/10 or anything like that, but here 3/7 was used. in order to find 10 percent you would divide by 10, correct, well I did the same with 7. (because you must find 1/7) The question was 3/7, so I multiplied 1400 by 3, and my answer was 4800. (sorry if this wasn't understandable, im the the best at explaining things)
