Let's represent the population of Chicago as C.

Given that the population of New York City (NYC) is 18.8 million, we know that the population of NYC is 9.9 million more than the population of Chicago.

So we can write the equation:

18.8 = C + 9.9

Now, solve for C:

C = 18.8 - 9.9
C = 8.9

Therefore, the approximate population of Chicago is 8.9 million people.
