Question

If 19.3% of children and adolescents are obese (14.4M), what is the total number of children and adolescents overall? Please i need help

Answer 1

74,611,399

Explanation:

Percentage of obese children and adolescent = 19.3%

19.3% = 14.4 million

The overall number of children and adolescent equals a total percentage of 100%

Hence,

If 19.3 % = 14.4 million

100% = x

Cross multiply :

19.3% x = 100% * 14.4 million

0.193x = 14400000

x = 14400000 / 0.193

x = 74611398.964

Total number of children and adolescent = 74,611,399
