Answer 1

Answer:

28.5%  Internet users in 2003 were in the United States.    

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Number of people using the internet =

$5.8078 \times 10^8$

Number of people in United States =

$1.6575 \times 10^8$

Percent of Internet users in 2003 were in the United States =

$=\dfrac{\text{Number of users in United States}}{\text{Number of internet user in world}}\times 100\%\\\\=\dfrac{ 1.6575 \times 10^8}{5.8078 \times 10^8}\times 100\%\\\\=28.5\%$

Thus, 28.5%  Internet users in 2003 were in the United States.
