Hello! There were 15,982,378 people living in Florida in 2000 and 183 out of 1,000 were ages 65 and over. That's 18.3% of all Florida residents, because 183/1,000 is 0.183 and 0.183 * 1,000 is 18.3. What you could do is multiply the amount of people living in Florida by the percentage, in this case, 18.3% (0.183). When you do that, you get 2,924,775.174 or 2,924,775 when rounded to the nearest whole number. Either way, you can't have part of a person. In the year 2000, there were 2,924,775 Florida residents 65 and older.
