Answer 1

Answer: 61.99% of the infected are caucasians.

Explanation:

The percent can be writen as:

(Number of caucasians infected/total number of infected)*100%

Then the percentage is:

p = (641,528/1,034,884)*100% = 61.99%

This means that the 61.99% of the infected are caucasians.

Answer 2

62%

Explanation:

The proportion of caucasians among those infected is the number of caucasians infected divided by the total number of infected.

The percentage is the proportion multiplied by 100.

In this question:

641,628 caucasians among 1,034,884 people infected

641,628/1,034,884 = 0.62

0.62*100 = 62%
