According to CTIA.org, there were 327.6 million cell phones in the U.S. in 2014. The U.S. population was approximately 317.9 million at that time. How many cell phones per capita were there in the U.5. in 2014 and what does this value tell us?

Answer:

Cell phones Per cápita = 1,0305

This value indicates that in the United States for the year 2014 there was approximately little more than one cell phone per person in the population. There were more cell phones than the general population for the year 2014.

Step-by-step explanation

"Per capita" means for each individual, in this case we will calculate how many cell phones there were in U.S. for each individual of the population. For that we apply the following formula:

Cell phones Per cápita = Cell phones in the U.S. in 2014 / Total Population in the U.S. in 2014

Cell phones Per cápita = 327.6 / 317.9

Cell phones Per cápita = 1,0305
