To find the approximate number of adults who would like to move permanently to another country, we can use the percentage from the Gallup poll and the total number of adults worldwide.
1. We know that 15% of respondents expressed the desire to move to another country.
2. The total number of adults in the world is approximately 5 billion.
Let's calculate 15% of 5 billion:
\[
0.15 \times 5,000,000,000 = 750,000,000
\]
Therefore, approximately **750 million adults** worldwide would like to move permanently to another country if they had the opportunity.
