The number 700 gets into the segment [600,799] and it is not fully correct to say that there are more teenagers than adults that have at least 700 songs. More correctly is to say:
"There are more teenagers than adults that have at least 600 songs" (if you want to estimate amounts of teenagers and adults who have 700 songs).
