1)B, since End population of Territory C in 1990~ 3000*1000
In 2010=4500*1000
So the Increase is (4500-2900)*1000= 1600*1000
While change in total population from 1990 to 2010= 22500000-17000000= 5500*1000 So now 1600*1000~
.3(5500*1000) = 30%
2)A,In 2010 the total of A,B,&C is (7250+5500+4500)*1000= 17250*1000,and total is 22500000,so % is 17250/22500 * 100=76.6%

The population of Territory C from 1990 to 2010 = 2900 to 4600 => increased by 1700000.
The population of Nation X over the same period = 17,000,000 to 22,500,000 => increased by 5500000.
Asked: 1700000 = x% of 5500000.
x = 30.9% => x = ~30%
Answer B.
2. In 2010, the estimated total year-end population of the 3 territories was of the estimated year-end population of Nation X.
The estimated total year-end population of the 3 territories in 2010 for X, Y, Z = 7100 + 5600 + 4100 respectively, which is equal to 16800000.
The population of Nation X in 2010 = 22,500,000 .
