We can find the answer by a rule of three:

100% ------------ 648,818
42% ------------ x

100x = 27,250,356

x = 27,250,356 / 100

x = 272,503.56

The amount of people that lives in Acreage it's 272,503. We can't consider 0.56 because it would be "half" of a person, so, it doesn't count.

Hope it helps.
