Answer 1

The continent which has 59% of the total population will have more than 5.31 billion people by 2050.

Explanation:

It is given that,

• The total number of people is 9 billion.
• The estimated number of people in 2050 year is 5.31 billion.

Therefore, you need to find out which continent has the estimated number by finding the percentage value.

To find what percent 5.31 is of billion is of 9 billion :

Let x be the percentage to be calculated.

⇒ x percent of 9 billion is 5.31 billion.

⇒ (x/100) × 9 = 5.31

⇒ x = (5.31 × 100) / 9

⇒ x = 531 / 9

⇒ x = 59 %

∴ The continent which has 59% of the total population will have more than 5.31 billion people by 2050.
