How do I format a decimal to display as a whole number?

In my query I have a select statement that looks as follows:

SELECT 
 CAST((mt.SampleTotal * 100) / (mt.PopulationTotal * 100.0) as numeric(7,2)) as 'Column %'

That statement returns .14 My user however wants to see the answer returned as 14 (a whole number).

Is there a quick fix for this?

What I have tried:

I had to create quite a few temp tables to get this far. Ideally this solution would be a modification to select statement. This is what I've tried so far.

Remove the multiplier at the bottom?

SQL

SELECT CAST((mt.SampleTotal * 100) / mt.PopulationTotal as numeric(7,0)) as 'Column %'
