Question

In the year 2012, it was estimated that there were 36.4 crore Internet users worldwide. In the next ten years, that number will be increased by 125%. Estimate the number of Internet users worldwide in 2022.

Answer 1

Internet users in the year 2012 = 36.4 crores.

The number will be increased by next 10 years = 125% 

∴ The no. of internet users in the year 2022 

= 36.4 + 125% of 36.4 

= 36.4 + 125/100 × 36.4 

= 36.4 + 45.5 

= 81.9 crores.
