1. The increase in the estimated number of users in Company Z from Year 1 to 9 accounts for approximately _____ % of the increase in the estimated number of users across all of Holding Company A's web properties.
Increase in the estimated number of users in Company Z from year 1 to year 9: 99 million (It's 100 mn in year 9 and ~1mn in year 1) = 99 mn => 0.099 billion
increase in the estimated number of users across all of Holding Company A's web properties: 2.8bn - 1bn = 1.8bn (This is given to us)
We need to see 0.099 is what percent of 1.8
Say 0.099 is x% of 1.8=> 0.099 = (x/100)*1.8 => x = 9.9/1.8 => 99/18 => 11/2 => 5.5 = ~5.6
2. In Year 9, the estimated number of users cumulatively across Companies X, Y, and Z was
____ of the estimated users across all of Holding Company A's web properties.
In year 9, we can add all the heights of the bars to get us the estimated number of users across companies X,Y and Z: 800 + (~200) + 100 => 1.1bn
Estimated users across all of Holding Company A's web properties in year 9 = 2.8bn (This is given to us)
Again we need to find 1.1 is what % of 2.8
We know 50% of 2.8 is 1.4 and 1.1 is less than that so the only valid choice is "Between 30 and 50%"
Increase in the estimated number of users in Company Z from year 1 to year 9: 99 million (It's 100 mn in year 9 and ~1mn in year 1) = 99 mn => 0.099 billion
increase in the estimated number of users across all of Holding Company A's web properties: 2.8bn - 1bn = 1.8bn (This is given to us)
We need to see 0.099 is what percent of 1.8
Say 0.099 is x% of 1.8=> 0.099 = (x/100)*1.8 => x = 9.9/1.8 => 99/18 => 11/2 => 5.5 = ~5.6
2. In Year 9, the estimated number of users cumulatively across Companies X, Y, and Z was
____ of the estimated users across all of Holding Company A's web properties.
In year 9, we can add all the heights of the bars to get us the estimated number of users across companies X,Y and Z: 800 + (~200) + 100 => 1.1bn

Solution:
1. The increase in the estimated number of users in Company Z from Year 1 to 9 accounts for approximately 5.6% of the increase in the estimated number of users across all of Holding Company A's web properties.
The number of estimated users in company Z from year 1 to 9 is 1 million - 100 million = 99 million. And the difference between the number of users across all of Holding Company A's web properties is already mentioned. So, 1 billion in year 1 - 2.8 billion in the year 9 is 1.8 billion. Now, the ques asks us 99 million is what percent of 1.8 billion, that is 5.5%.
2. In Year 9, the estimated number of users cumulatively across Companies X, Y, and Z was between 30% and 50% of the estimated users across all of Holding Company A's web properties.
The estimated number of cumulative users across companies X, Y, and Z for the year is 800+200+100=1100 million. It has already been mentioned in the question stem that the number of users across all of Holding Company A's web properties was 2.8 billion for the year 9. So, the question asks us, 1100 million is what percent of 2.8 billion, that is 39%.
