Model answer

Collectively: 60% × $1,436,000,000 = $861,600,000. Individually (Region's population / Total population × $861,600,000): Region A: 400,000/1,600,000 × 861,600,000 = $215,400,000 Region B: 350,000/1,600,000 × 861,600,000 = $188,475,000 Region C: 250,000/1,600,000 × 861,600,000 = $134,625,000 Region D: 100,000/1,600,000 × 861,600,000 = $53,850,000 Region E: 300,000/1,600,000 × 861,600,000 = $161,550,000 Region F: 200,000/1,600,000 × 861,600,000 = $107,700,000 Total = $861,600,000.
