First add up all of the workers:
7,862,418+1,120,982+144,959+138,496+149,641+346,626=9,763,122

So there are a total of 9,763,122 workers in this sample

Now to find the percentage of workers who walk to work, simply divide the number of workers who walk by the total number of workers

138,496/9,763,122 = 0.014186

Now multiply by 100 to get a percentage

0.014186*100= 1.4186%

So about 1.42% of the workers walk to work
