Find:

Compare China's population to world population

Computation:

World's population in 2014 = 7.2 billion (Approximately)

Faction of population = China's population in 2014 / World's population in 2014

Faction of population = 1.39 / 7.2

Percentage of population = [China's population in 2014 / World's population in 2014]100

Percentage of population = [1.39/7.2]100

Percentage of population = [0.193]100

Percentage of population = 19.3% (Approx.)
