let’s divide this fully into 5ths to make it easier.

7 and 4/5 also equals 39/5.
39 is what we call a prime number so we can’t factor 109200 with it, so all we have left that we can do is divide.
109200/39=$2800
$2800 is 1/5 of the total, so just multiply that by 5 and you have your answer!
2800x5=$14,000.
