15% of the town's population is over the age of 65. If there are 450 residents over the age of 65, what is the town's total population?

14 percent of the population = 320 residents

There is a formula that will help with these situations:

is/of = percent (%)/100.

In this case, we can rephrase the question to as:

320 residents is 14 percent of .

Substitute into the formula

320/x = 14/100

Cross multiply

14x = 32,000

x = 2,285

The population is 2,285 people

(a) 1.353 x 10^9
