In 2016, there were approximately 66 million virtual reality devices in use in a region. This is expected to grow to 339 million in 2020. What is the projected percent ofincrease?The projected percent of increase is %.(Type an integer or decimal rounded to the nearest tenth as needed.)

Answer 1

2016 = 66 million virtual reality devices.

2020 = 339 million

Multiply the number of virtual reality devices in 2016 (66 million) by the percent increase in decimal form(x), and that must be equal to the number of virtual reality devices in 2020 (339 million)

66,000,000 x =339,000,000

x= 339,000,000 / 66,000,000

x= 5.2

multiply by 100, to obtain the percentage increase:

5.2 x 100 = 520%
