The projected U.S. population is given for different decades. The projected number of people 65 years of age or older is also given. Find the percentage of people 65 or over and comment on the trend over time. Numbers are in millions of people (Source: 2017 World Almanac and Book of Facts) $$ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|} \hline \text { Year } & \text { Population } & \text { Older Population } \\ \hline 2020 & 334 & 54.8 \\ \hline 2030 & 358 & 70.0 \\ \hline 2040 & 380 & 81.2 \\ \hline 2050 & 400 & 88.5 \\ \hline \end{array} $$
