Look at the change in population in Europe from 1300 to 1400, during the Black Death epidemic. Use a calculator to determine the percentage that the population declined between those two centuries. To get the answer, you need to subtract the population between the two centuries. Then, divide this difference in the population with the population in the year 1300. Finally, multiply by 100 to get the decline in percentage. Next, by using the same formula noted above, calculate the percentage that the population dropped in the Americas from 1500 to 1600, during the Columbian Exchange era. Which region of the world experienced a greater population decline? Based on this fact, what can you infer about the spread of disease because of global trade in Europe compared to the Americas? Year 1300 1400 1500 1600 1700
Americas 32 39 42 13 12
Africa 68 68 87 113 107
Europe 70 52 67 89 95
China 83 70 84 110 150
India 100 74 95 145 175

The population of Europe in 1300 was 70 million. The population dropped to 52 million in 1400.

The total decline in population was (70 – 52) = 18 million.

The decline in terms of percentage was

18/70 × 100 = 26% (approximately)

Similarly, the population of the Americas in 1500 was 42 million. The population in 1600 was 13 million.

The total decline in population (42 – 13) = 29 million

The decline in terms of percentage was

29/42 × 100 = 69% (approximately)

So, between the years 1300 and 1400, the population of Europe dropped by 26 percent. In the Americas, the population decline between 1500 and 1600 was 69 percent. So, the decline in population of the Americas between 1500 and 1600 was greater. Based on this fact, it seems likely that the spread of disease due to global trade had a much greater impact in the Americas than in Europe.

this is the sample answer directly from Edmentum! make sure you change it up a bit good luck!!

hope this helps :)
