Answer:

314 million

Explanation:

Given that :

Number of motor vehicle in the U.S for every 1000 people = 828

If the number of motor vehicle in the United States = 260 million

Then,

Let x = number of people Given number of vehicles = 260,000,000

1000 people = 828 vehicles

x = 260,000,000

828x = (260,000,000 * 1000)

828x = 260,000,000,000

x = 314009661. 835

x = 314 million (approx)
