Answer 1

The Percentage increase in Population is 110.8%

Explanation:

We know

The Population in 2018 = 363,844,490

The Population in 1950 = 172,602,624

The Population increased = The Population in 2018 - The Population in 1950

= 363,844,490 - 172,602,624

= 191,241,866

To find the percentage increase in the population

=( The Population increased/The Population in 1950)100%

= (191,241,866/172,602,624)100%

= (1.107989)100%

= 110.7989%

= 110.8%
