Problem

Approximately 36.8 million people living in a specific country in a recent year were born in other countries. The circle graph gives the share from each region of birth for these people. Use the graph to the right to answer the following question. How many people (in millions) were born in Europe? About million people were born in Europe. (Round to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Solution

Step 1 :Given that the total number of people born in other countries and living in a specific country is \(36.8\) million and the percentage of people born in Europe is \(20\%\).

Step 2 :We calculate the number of people born in Europe by multiplying the total number of people by the percentage of people born in Europe. The formula is \(total\_people \times \frac{percentage\_born\_in\_europe}{100}\).

Step 3 :Substitute the given values into the formula: \(36.8 \times \frac{20}{100} = 7.36\) million people.

Step 4 :However, we need to round the result to the nearest tenth as needed. So, \(7.36\) million people rounds to \(7.4\) million people.

Step 5 :\(\boxed{7.4}\) million people living in the specific country were born in Europe.
