Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The share of audience is calculated by dividing the number of households watching a specific program by the total number of households with their television sets turned on, then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage. With 3 million households (50% of 6 million) having their television sets turned on and 1 million watching the game, the share is (1 million / 3 million) * 100 = 33.3%, which rounds to 33.
