Question

Compare the world population index for 1960 to the world population index for 2000. then express the world population in 2000 as a percentage of world population in 1960.

Answer 1

The answer is 200%.

If we see the world population index and compare the population in 1960 and 2000, we see that population in 2000 is double than 1960.

World population in 1960 = 3,007,751

World population in 2000 = 6,104,538 which is approximately double than 1960.

So when we express it as percentage multiply 2 with 100 and we get the percentage 200.
