1965 population was 194 million x 35% = 68 million

2000 population was 281 million x 83% = 233 million

243% increase in sinners?

If 137% is correct as Brianna said, I guess we were supposed to be looking for the % increase of the % approving sin, rather than the % increase in people approving sin. Nevermind.
