Answer: ‭533,079‬ people

Explanation:

Population density shows the concentration of people in an area. It is calculated by dividing the number of people in the area by the size of the area.

Population density = Number of people in area / Size of area

5.49 = Population / 97,100

Population = 5.49 * 97,100

= ‭533,079‬ people
