Let X be the population of Chicago. We know the population of New York City is 18.8 million, and that this is 9.9 million more than the population of Chicago. Therefore, we can write the equation:
X + 9.9 = 18.8
Subtracting 9.9 from both sides:
X = 18.8 - 9.9
X = 8.9 million
Therefore, the approximate population of Chicago is 8.9 million.
The answer is: 8.9 million.
The population of New York City is about 18.8 million people. This is about 9.9 million
more people than the population of Chicago. Write and solve an equation to find the
