1. Problem Description

The table provides the population of several towns in England.

The problem asks for:

a. The total number of people living in Formby and Telford.

b. The difference between the number of people living in Bedford and Dover.

2. Solution Steps

a. To find the total number of people living in Formby and Telford, we need to add their populations:

Formby's population = 24,478

Telford's population = 166,640

Total population = $24,478 + 166,640$

$24,478 + 166,640 = 191,118$

b. To find the difference between the number of people living in Bedford and Dover, we need to subtract Dover's population from Bedford's population:

Bedford's population = 82,448

Dover's population = 34,087

Difference = $82,448 - 34,087$

$82,448 - 34,087 = 48,361$

3. Final Answer

a. The total number of people living in Formby and Telford is 191,
