Easy

Within the Kid category in 2023, split into one-app and multiple-app users, then take multiple-app as a fraction of the Kid total.

2023 total =100,000=100{,}000 (Step from this set). Kid 2023 =15%=15,000=15\%=15{,}000; Kid one-app =10,000=10{,}000 (Fact 4).

Kid multiple-app users in 2023. Subtract one-app from the Kid total.
