Steps
The current estimated population of the United States is approximately \(335,000,000\).
The given number, \(240,000\), is divided by the total US population: (240,000 divided by 335,000,000).
The result is then multiplied by \(100\) to express it as a percentage: (240,000 times 335,000,000} X 100).
The calculation yields approximately (0.0716%).
Final Answer: (240,000) is approximately (0.0716%) of the US population.
