Market Share Users
1. The problem asks us to find the number of users for Google Chrome, Safari, and Internet Explorer given their market shares and the total number of internet users.
2. We know the total number of internet users is 2.5 billion (2,500,000,000).
3. Market shares are given as percentages:
- Google Chrome: 34.7%
- Safari: 15.2%
- Internet Explorer: 12.5%
4. To find the number of users for each browser, multiply the total users by the market share (expressed as a decimal).
5. Calculate Google Chrome users:
$$2,500,000,000 \times \frac{34.7}{100} = 2,500,000,000 \times 0.347 = 867,500,000$$
6. Calculate Safari users:
$$2,500,000,000 \times \frac{15.2}{100} = 2,500,000,000 \times 0.152 = 380,000,000$$
7. Calculate Internet Explorer users:
$$2,500,000,000 \times \frac{12.5}{100} = 2,500,000,000 \times 0.125 = 312,500,000$$
8. Final answers:
- Google Chrome users: 867,500,000
- Safari users: 380,000,000
- Internet Explorer users: 312,500,000
These calculations show how market share percentages translate into actual user numbers based on the total internet user population.
