Accepted Solution
A:
The answer would be 1/3 of the population is children. All you need to do to solve this problem is divide the portion of the population (in this case, children) by the total of the population. Therefore, you have 1342/4026 which reduces to 1/3. If you would like to represent this as a percent, it would be approximately 33.33%
