What percentage of Europe's population was in the age 15-64 group in 1950?
This is what I have done so far.
547,318 - 359,162=188,156

A MORE DIRECT WAY TO FIND THE % IS TO DIVIDE THE SELECTED POPULATION BY THE TOTAL POPULATION. THUS:
359,162/547,318=.656 OR 65.6% OF THE POPULATION WAS BETWEEN15-64 IN 1950.
