Would this be correct?
What is the percent increase in the population for all six inhabited continents,
excluding Asia, from 1950 to 2000?
total for 1950 - 965,000,000
total for 2000 - 2,251,000,000
2,251,000,000 - 965,000,000 = 1,286,000,000
1,286,000,000 divided by 965,000,000 = 1.3326= 133% increase in population.
I think you got it!
Thanks Lance!
Yes, you have made the correct calculations. The percent increase in population for all six inhabited continents excluding Asia, from 1950 to 2000, is indeed 133%.
To find the increase in population, you subtract the population in 1950 (965,000,000) from the population in 2000 (2,251,000,000), which gives you 1,286,000,000. Then, to find the percent increase, you divide the increase in population (1,286,000,000) by the population in 1950 (965,000,000), which equals 1.3326. Multiply this by 100 to get the percentage, which is approximately 133%.
Well done!
Actually, there is a slight mistake in your calculation. Let me help you correct it.
To find the percent increase in the population for all six inhabited continents, excluding Asia, from 1950 to 2000, follow these steps:
1. Find the difference in population between 2000 and 1950:
Population in 2000 - Population in 1950 = 2,251,000,000 - 965,000,000 = 1,286,000,000
2. Find the percent increase by dividing the difference by the initial population and multiplying by 100:
(Difference / Initial population) * 100 = (1,286,000,000 / 965,000,000) * 100
≈ 133.29%
So, the correct answer is approximately 133.29% increase in population from 1950 to 2000 for all six inhabited continents, excluding Asia.
