Using absolute references
The references you've used up until now are called relative references because they change when copied into other cells.
Absolute references don't change when you copy them. This behavior can be really useful, as it allows you to continually refer to single values in your cell formulas, which will update automatically if the referenced cell is changed.
In this exercise, you'll use absolute references to calculate the population of each country relative to the worldwide population as a percentage.
