Step 1
Given:
Predicted population (millions)Region20352050World8,9339,882India1,655.71670.1
Step 2
a) World population is predicted to live in 2035=8,933 Millions India population is predicted to live in 2035=1,655.7 Milions Percentage of the world population is predicted to live in India in 2035
=(1655.7 ÷ 8933) × 100
=0.1853 × 100
=18.5 (Rounded to one decimal place).
Therefore, Percentage of the world population is predicted to live in India in 2035 is 18.5%.
Step 3
b) World population is predicted to live in 2050=9,882 Millions India population is predicted to live in 2050=1,670.1 Milions Percentage of the world population is predicted to live in India in 2050
=(1670.1 ÷ 9882) × 100
=0.1690 × 100
=16.9 (Rounded to one decimal place).
Therefore, Percentage of the world population is predicted to live in India in 2050 is 16.9%.
Step 4
c) The absolute change describes the actual increase or decrease from a reference value to a new value:
Absolute change=new value -reference value
Absolute change =1670.1  1655.7
=14.4
14 (Rounded to the nearest whole number)
Therefore, the absolute change in the predicted operation of India between 2035 and 2050 is 14 Millions.
