the population of the u.s. is what percentage more than the population of Republica. round to 1 decimal place

Ok, so
Given that:
- The population of the united states is 325 million.
- The population of Republica is 47 million.
We want to know what percentage is the population of the U.S more than the population of republica.
For this, we could write:
[tex]47+\frac{x}{100}(47)=325[/tex]Note that (x/100)*(47) represents the increase of the percentage of the population of republica.
We are going to solve the previous equation for x as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 47+0.47x=325 \\ 0.47x=325-47 \\ 0.47x=278 \\ x=591.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the population of the U.S is 591.5% more than the population of republica.
