In the year 2002 the world population estimated at 6 billion people. Based on research from the World Bank, about 20% lives ln less than $1 per day. How many people lived on less than $1 per day??????

Answer 1

To find out how many people lived on less than $1 per day in the year 2002, we need to calculate 20% of the world population.

20% of 6 billion people can be found by multiplying 6 billion by 0.2.

20% of 6 billion = 6,000,000,000 * 0.2 = 1,200,000,000

Therefore, approximately 1.2 billion people lived on less than $1 per day in the year 2002.
