Percentage is calculated as a faction of 100, hence the name per cent , meaning "of one hundred"

The formula for the percentage of $A$ $A$ in $B$ $B$ is given by:

$\frac{A}{B} \cdot 100 %$ $A/B * 100%$

In this case, you would be looking for

$\frac{7}{49} \cdot 100 %$ $7/49 * 100%$

or simplified:

$\frac{1}{7} \cdot 100 %$ $1/7*100%$

The final calculation is left to the reader.
