    The approximate population in 1950 was 2.5 million people

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In 2003, the population of an African country was about 8.5 million

    according to the question,

    8.5 million = 1 million + 3 x population in 1950

    so,

    =>8.5 million - 1 million = 3 x population in 1950 [subtract 1million]

    =>7.5 million = 3 x population in 1950

    => (7.5/3) million = population in 1950 {divided by 3}

    =>2.5 million = population in 1950
