Formula
To determine how many victims of
extreme hunger could be assisted a year:
Divide your number by $105.85
y/105.85= x

ex: To put the $200 million contract
in perspective the U.S. could assist
1.8 million people who are suffering
from extreme cases of hunger.
800 million people are chronically hungry
4 billion people live in poverty.
214 million: Number of people identified
by the FAO as being the most
nutritionally deprived people on earth
($5.2 billion needed to assist them).
