Well what's 100% divided by 6.4% ?
It equals = 15.625% .That means there are 15.625% more non- Mexicans than 14.6 million Mexicans.
So if you multiply 15.625 by 14.6 you get = 228.125(or 228 1/8) million people.
To check your answer: multiply 228.125 by 6.4% (.064),
228.125 x .064 = 14.6 million mexicans.
Answer: 228.125(or 228 1/8) other people lived in the U.S. in 1980
