Answer 1

Industry sales = $15 billions
Acme market share = 20%
Emca market share = 17%

Acme market share in form of sales:
Acme marker share = 20% of $20 billion = (20/100)*20 = $3.00 billions

Emca market share in form of sales:
Emca market share = 17% of $20 billions = (17/100)*20 = $2.55 billions

Difference between the market shares for two companies as a percentage:
Difference = |20%-17%| = 3% of $20 billion
