Answer:

The percentage of internet users that are in Europe is the 25,8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage of worldwide Internet users that are in Europe is obtained when calculating the following operations:

1. You must know what is the base or total figure you want to use to determine the share of an specific group contained in the total. In this case 3.5 Billion is the base figure you will use.

2. You want to know what is the figure with which you will determine the percentage share in this case is 900 million.

3. You replace the values in the following formula:

percentage share = (( Share Figure ) ) x 100

Base or total figure

percentage share = (( 900'000.000 ) ) x 100

3.500'000.000

percentage share = 0,2571 x 100

percentage share = 25,71 %

4. As you want to round your answer to one percentage place, then you round to ,71 to ,8 that is the next higher decimal number.

percentage share = 25,8%
