First class (0-9) population: $\approx42$ millions. Second class (10-19) population: $\approx41$ millions. Third class (20-29) population: $\approx43$ millions. Fourth class (30-39) population: $\approx40$ millions. Fifth class (40-49) population: $\approx44$ millions. Sixth class (50-59) population: $\approx40$ millions. Seventh class (60-69) population: $\approx28$ millions. Eighth class (70-79) population: $\approx16$ millions. Nineth class (80-89) population: $\approx10$ millions. Tenth class (90-99) population: $\approx2$ millions. $Sixth~class~population-seventh~class~population=40-28=12$ millions. $Seventh~class~population-eighth~class~population=28-16=12$ millions. $First~class~population-second~class~population=42-41=1$ million.
