Answer: 2.2 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the answer, you would need to make 324 million and 2017 a fraction (324 million as numerator (top), 2017 as denominator (bottom) and the same for 313 million and 2012). From there, you subtract both fractions. You will get 11/5, which would equal 2 1/5. Multiply the 2 1/5 by 2 to get 2 20/100.
