Answer:
The total population of that country by the year 2050 is predicted to be 39,213,973.
Step-by-Step Explanation:
Let the total population of a country predicted in 2050 = x
Elderly population of a country by the year 2050 = e = 22.9%
Elderly population in the year 2050 is predicted to be 8,980,000 and it is 22.9 % of the total as explained in the question.
Calculating the Total population 'x' in 2050:
We can calculate the total population 'x' using the following equation
22.9 % of x = 8980000
(22.9/100)*x = 8980000
[tex]22.9 % of x = 8980000(22.9/100)*x = 8980000[/tex]
⇒ [tex]x = 8980000*100/22.9\\x = 898000000/22.9\\x = 39213973[/tex]
