Question

South Africa has a population of 55 million people. The current spread of the virus may lead to 30% of death. Calculate the actual number of people that my die due to this virus

Answer 1

16,500,000 people

Explanation:

If South Africa has a population of 55,000,000 people, and the current spread of the virus may lead to 30% of death, this means that 30% of 55,000,000 people will die. 30% is similar to 30 cents per 1 dollar/100 cents. So this can be represented as 30/100. 30/100 x 55,000,000 = 16,500,000 people.
