Current world population is 7.64 billion.

Number of people in developed nations :


n = (7.64* 17)/(100)\\\\n=1.3\ billion

Now, per person in developed country eats 100 kg of meat .

So, 1.3 Billion people will eat :


M =1.3* 100\ billion\ kg\\\\M=130\ billion\ kg

Therefore, meat consumed in the developed world in 1 year is 130 billion kg.

Hence, this is the required solution.
