Answer:
$11,200
Step-by-step explanation:
Just multiply the percent times the total
8% * 140000 = .08 * 140000 = 11200
Without the actually predicted values in comparison to the real values it is only possible to give a very likely answer based on their scale:
a) is 25 million off, which sounds bad but when compared to a few billion in population it's not even 1%
b)3 billion is more than half the world population as error: very unlikely
c)154 billion, unlikely that a prediction is off by a factor of ~30
d)same as c
so a) is most likely the solution, but in theory the predictions could be arbitrarily bad (things like negative population, or extreme growths)

One way to solve:
960-12x=816
144=12x
12=x
Another way to solve
80-x=68
x=12
