You can put this solution on YOUR website!
+1200+%2F+1300+=+x+%2F+2000000+
+12%2F13+=+x+%2F+2000000+
Multiply both sides by +26000000+
+12%2A2000000+=+13x+
+x+=+%2812%2F13%29%2A2000000+
+x+=+1846153.8+
I think you are expected to round off
to the nearest whole number, so the
answer is 1,846,154 people.
