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.
