Answer 1

To describe how the amount of money generated by downloading changed from the first half of the year to the second, we can fill in the drop-down menus as follows:

In the first half of the year, downloading made up about 3.6% of total income.

In the second half of the year, downloading made up about 2.7% of total income.

So, the percent of total income generated by downloading decreased from the first half of the year to the second.

You can calculate the percentages as follows:

1. First Half: Downloading income = 8.2 million; Total income = 228.6 million.

   • Percentage = (8.2 / 228.6) * 100 ≈ 3.6%

2. Second Half: Downloading income = 8.6 million; Total income = 316.9 million.

   • Percentage = (8.6 / 316.9) * 100 ≈ 2.7%
