There are 202 million people on the internet, so n = 202 million. The population, p, is unknown.
To solve this simply plug in 202 million for n: 202,000,000 = 0.69p. In order to solve for p you must divide what it is being multiplied by: .69.
So, you have 202,000,000 divided by .69 and get the answer: 292,753,623 or about 292.75 million people.
