Based on the 2010 US census, the population of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was about 96% of the population of Baltimore, Maryland In 2010, if Milwaukee's population was about 595,000, which of the following is the best approximation of Baltimore's population?
- 620,000
- 570,000
- 300,000
- 95,000
The correct answer is: 620,000
Milwaukee's population = 96% of Baltimore's population
Also, population of Milwaukee = 595,000.
We will substitute population of Milwaukee in the first condition.
Step-by-step solution:-
Let the population of Milwaukee, Wisconsin be "M" and that of Baltimore, Maryland be "B".
Now, we know that-
M = 96% of B _________________________ (given)
∴ M = 
× B ________________________ (i)
∴ 595,000 = × B ________________________ (given)
∴ 
∴ 619,791.667 = B
i.e. B = 620,000 (Approximately)
Final Answer:-
Option A i.e. 620,000 is the correct Option.
