freight reimbursement income = 5% of 60 million = 3 million
freight expenditures = 7% of 60 million =4.2 million

Expenditure not covered = $$4.2 - 3 = 1.2 million$$

Therefore Percentage = $$\frac{1.2}{4.2} = 28$$%

for income: 4,9%*60 = 2.94
for expenditures: 6.8%*60 = 4.08

calculate the difference : 4.08-2.94 = 1.14

1.14/4.08 = 0.279 or 28%
