Respuesta :
The total population of people in the country is
[tex]\begin{gathered} =8.747\text{million people} \\ =8.747\times1000000 \\ =8,747,000\text{ people} \end{gathered}[/tex]The number of people that smokes is
[tex]\begin{gathered} =3.175\text{million people} \\ =3.175\times1000000 \\ =3,175,000\text{ people} \end{gathered}[/tex]The formula for the percentage of people that smoke is
[tex]\text{ percentage smokers}=\frac{\text{ population of smokers}}{\text{total population}}\times100\text{ \%}[/tex]By substituting the values, we will have
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ percentage smokers}=\frac{\text{ population of smokers}}{\text{total population}}\times100\text{ \%} \\ \text{percentage smokers=}\frac{3,175,000}{8,747,000}\times\frac{100}{1} \\ \text{percentage smokers}=\frac{3,175,000}{87,470}\text{ \%} \\ \text{percentage smokers}=36.298\text{ \%} \\ \text{percentage smokers}\approx\text{ nearest tenth 36.3\%} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence,
The final answer = 36.3%
