Let x repersent the total population
If 23,300 = 29.8 % of x
then
23,300 = 0.298x
and
23300/0.298 = x
Now just solve for x
Give it a try

23,300/.298 = 78187.92 So there are 78187 whole persons. Unless the rules allow you to round up to the nearest whole number, 0.92 cannot be another whole person. Does your question say "To round up to the nearest whole number? My question to you is whether your question as stated allows you to count 0.91 as another whole person. Your question as stated sounds like it gets Truncated not Rounded? Let me know.
