Answer:
B) 314 million
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following data;
Estimated motor vehicles = 828
Total number of motor vehicles = 260,000,000
Also, for 1,000 people, there are 828 motor vehicles.
Therefore, to find the population;
[tex] Population = \frac {260,000,000}{828}*1,000[/tex]
[tex] Population = 314009.662 *1,000[/tex]
Population = 314,009,662
Therefore, the population to the nearest millions is 314,000,000 people.
Method II
Motor vehicles = population
828 vehicles = 1000 people
260,000,000 vehicles = X people
Cross multiplying, we have;
828X = 260,000,000,000
[tex] X = \frac {260,000,000,000}{828}[/tex]
X = 314,009,662
Therefore, the population to the nearest millions is 314,000,000 people.
