To determine the percentage increase in 'Elder' category subscribers from 2023 to 2024, let's first gather the key information:
- Overall subscribers grew by 10% between 2023 and 2024.
- In 2023, 'Elder' users with multiple apps numbered 15,000.
- In 2023, 'Kid' users with one app totaled 10,000, which was the same as 'Elder' users with one app.
Let the total number of subscribers in 2023 be
x.
Then, the total subscribers in 2024 will be 1.1
x.
Step 1: Calculate Total 'Elder' Subscribers in 2023'Elder' subscribers using one app = 10,000 (given).
'Elder' subscribers using multiple apps = 15,000 (given).
Total 'Elder' subscribers in 2023 = 10,000 + 15,000 = 25,000.
Step 2: Determine Total Subscribers in 2023Since 'Elder' users with one app (10,000) equaled 'Kid' users with one app, 'Elder' users with one app represented 22.5% of the total subscribers in 2023. Let the total subscribers in 2023 be
x.
0.225
x = 10,000
x = 10,000 / 0.225 = 44,444.44
Step 3: Calculate Total 'Elder' Subscribers in 2024Total subscribers in 2024 = 1.1
x = 1.1 × 44,444.44 = 48,888.88
Based on the bar graph, 'Elder' subscribers are estimated to be 30% of the total in 2024.
Total 'Elder' subscribers in 2024 = 0.3 × 48,888.88 = 14,666.664
Step 4: Calculate the Percentage Increase in 'Elder' SubscribersChange in 'Elder' subscribers from 2023 to 2024 = 14,666.664 - 25,000 = -10,333.336. (Note: This is a decrease, not an increase as initially stated in the problem.)
Percentage change = ((-10,333.336 / 25,000) × 100) % = -41.33%.
Therefore, there was a **41.33% decrease** in 'Elder' subscribers.
