Answer: Share of Beach supply in the market is 22.6%.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Total annual sales of beach umbrellas in the entire market = 6.2 million

Sales by Beach supply company per year = 1.4 million

We need to find the Beach supply's share of the market.

So, it must be written as :


(Beach\ Supply's\ Share)/(Total)* 100\\\\=(1.4)/(6.2)* 100\\\\=(140)/(6.2)\\\\=22.58\%\\\\\approx 22.6\%

So, Share of Beach supply in the market is 22.6%.
