Given that, in 1990, the population of Kansas was 2,477,574, which included 21,965 Native Americans
To find: percent of the people living in Kansas that were Native Americans
From given question,
Population of Kansas = 2,477,574
Population of native americans = 21965
The percent of native americans is given as:
[tex]\text{ percent of native americans} = \frac{\text{ population of native americans }}{\text{ total population}} \times 100[/tex]
Substituting the values we get,
[tex]\rightarrow \frac{21965}{2477574} \times 100\\\\\rightarrow 0.0088 \times 100 = 0.887[/tex]
Thus 0.887 % of the people living in Kansas were Native Americans
