What is Population density?

From the question, we are to determine the number of people living in Brazil in that year

From the given information,

Brazil land area = 8.5 million square kilometers = 8500000 km²

Brazil population density = Peru population density = 23 people /km²

From population density formula,

[tex]Population\ density = \frac{Number \ of \ people}{Land\ area}[/tex]

Then,

Number of people = Population density × Land area

Therefore,

Number of people living in Brazil = 8500000 × 23

Number of people living in Brazil = 195,500,000 people

Hence, the number of people living in Brazil that year was approximately  195,500,000 people. The answer is the last option 195,500,000 people
