Let
x--------> Canada's population
y--------> United States's population
we know that
x = 32 , 000 , 000 p eo pl e -------> equation 1
x = 10 1 ​ y
Solve for y
y = 10 x -------> equation 2
Substitute equation 1 in equation 2
y = 10 ∗ 32 , 000 , 000
y = 320 , 000 , 000 p eo pl e
therefore
the answer is
United States's population is about 320 , 000 , 000 p eo pl e
