Answer 1

0.486 % of world population lives in canada

Solution:

From given,

World population = 7691 million

Canada population = 37.4 million

We have to find the percent of world population lives in canada

Let "x" be the percent of world population lives in canada

Therefore, from question,

x % of world population = canada population

x % of 7691 = 37.4

Solve the above equation for "x"

$x \% \times 7691 = 37.4\\\\\frac{x}{100} \times 7691 = 37.4\\\\7691x = 3740\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 7691\\\\x = \frac{3740}{7691}\\\\x = 0.486$

Thus 0.486 % of world population lives in canada
