Question

the population of the u.s. is what percentage more than the population of Republica. round to 1 decimal place

Answer 1

Ok, so

Given that:

- The population of the united states is 325 million.

- The population of Republica is 47 million.

We want to know what percentage is the population of the U.S more than the population of republica.

For this, we could write:

`47+(x)/(100)(47)=325`

Note that (x/100)*(47) represents the increase of the percentage of the population of republica.

We are going to solve the previous equation for x as follows:

`\begin{gathered} 47+0.47x=325 \\ 0.47x=325-47 \\ 0.47x=278 \\ x=591.5 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the population of the U.S is 591.5% more than the population of republica.
