Question

9. Apply The number of people in the United States who are at least 100

Answer 1

Answer: If in 1980 we had N people who were at least 100 years old, then in 2010 we had N*1.66 people who were at least 100 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

A really simple conditional statement can be written as:

If P, then Q

Where P is the hypothesis, and Q is the conclusion.

In this case, we know that:

"The number of people with age equal or larger than 100 years old, grew about 66% from 1980 to 2010"

This means that if in 1980 we had N people in that age range, in 2010 we have N*(166%/100%) = N*1.66

Then we can write a conditional statement:

If in 1980 we had N people who were at least 100 years old, then in 2010 we had N*1.66 people who were at least 100 years old.
