To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion to find the total population. Let's denote the total population as P. Given that 36,000 people make up 15% of the population, we can express this relationship as: \frac{36000}{P}=\frac{15}{100} To solve for P, we can cross multiply: 36000\times100=15\times P 3600000=15P Now, divide both sides by 15 to isolate P: P=\frac{3600000}{15} P=240000 So, the total population is 240,000 people.
