Since 40% of population is 3,064,486,185

Then to find 100% we will use the cross multiplication


\begin{gathered} (40)/(3064486185)=(100)/(x) \\ 40* x=100*3064486185 \end{gathered}

Divide both sides by 40 to find x


\begin{gathered} (40x)/(40)=(306448618500)/(40) \\ x=7661215463 \end{gathered}

The world population is 7,661,215,463
