A study recently confirmed that of every 100 citizens of a certain state 40 are considered overweight . There were 288 million citizens of this state in 2001 . how many would be considered overweight

Well, if I do my calculations correctly, in the state with 288 million citizens, if 40 out of every 100 citizens are considered overweight, then we can multiply 288 million by 40 and divide that by 100.

Let me do the math... *cracks calculator fingers*

288 million multiplied by 40 is 11.52 billion.

Divided by 100 gives us... *calculating* 115.2 million overweight citizens!

So, it looks like there would be approximately 115.2 million people considered overweight in that state.

But hey, remember, numbers don't define people, so let's keep the focus on staying healthy and happy!

To determine the number of citizens in the state who would be considered overweight, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Calculate the number of citizens who are considered overweight.
If 40 out of every 100 citizens are considered overweight, we can calculate this as a percentage: 40/100 = 0.4 (or 40%).

Step 2: Calculate the number of citizens who are considered overweight based on the population of the state.
Multiply the percentage of citizens who are considered overweight (0.4) by the total population of the state.
0.4 (overweight percentage) * 288,000,000 (population) = 115,200,000 citizens.

Therefore, in 2001, approximately 115,200,000 citizens in the state would be considered overweight.

To determine the number of citizens in the state who would be considered overweight, you need to calculate 40% of the total population.

First, calculate the percentage as a decimal: 40% = 0.40.

Next, multiply the decimal by the total population:

0.40 x 288 million = 115.2 million.

Therefore, in 2001, approximately 115.2 million citizens of that state would be considered overweight.

0.4 * 288,000,000 = ?
