Answer 1

0.887 % of the people living in Kansas were Native Americans

Solution:

Given that, in 1990, the population of Kansas was 2,477,574, which included 21,965 Native Americans

To find: percent of the people living in Kansas that were Native Americans

From given question,

Population of Kansas = 2,477,574

Population of native americans = 21965

The percent of native americans is given as:

`\text{ percent of native americans} = \frac{\text{ population of native americans }}{\text{ total population}} * 100`

Substituting the values we get,

`\rightarrow (21965)/(2477574) * 100\\\\\rightarrow 0.0088 * 100 = 0.887`

Thus 0.887 % of the people living in Kansas were Native Americans
