If 3.75% of people make more than $100k per year, then 100%-3.75%=96.25% make less.
Multiplying 23,000,000 people by 0.9625 gives 22,137,500 people that make less than $100k a year.

23,000,000 people
x .0375 percent
862500 earn more than 100K; therefore
23,000,000
- 862,500
22137500 earn less than 100 K
or
100% - 3.75% = 96.25%
23,000,000 people
x .9625 percent
2213750000 people earn less than $100K

3,75%*23 million = 862500 people earn more than $100K a year
so people earn less than $100K = 23 million - 862500 = 22137500 people
