For this case we can make the following rule of three:
 6 million -----> 100%
 x ---------------> 109.5%
 Clearing x we have:
 x = (109.5 / 100) * (6)
 x = 6.57 million people
 Answer:
 indiana's population now is:
 x = 6.57 million people

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence, the present population of Indiana's is:

6.57 million

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Indiana's population has increased by 9.5% since 2000.

and the population of Indiana's in 2000 was: 6 million=6×10^6.

Now, we are asked o find the present population of Indiana's.

Hence, the present population is given by:

109.5% of (6×10^6)

which is given by:

$\dfrac{109.5}{100}\times 6\times 10^6\\\\\\=1095\times 6\times 10^3\\\\=6570\times 10^3\\\\=657\times 10^4=6.57\times 10^6=6.57million$

Hence, the present population of Indiana's is:

6.57 million
