Explanation / Answer

Hi,
Fron the given table, we can calculate density of each country by dividing population/area,
therefore
for australia-21767000/2968000=7.33
for US-311051000/3619000= 85.94
for india- 1189173000/1269000= 937.09
hence highest is India, (of course :) )
no of more people in US compared to australia is 85.94-7.33=78.61=~79 people
