18.14 million people owned a smart phone that ran google android operating system.

the google android operating system is used on 28.7% of all smart phones.

let x = the number of people who owned smart phones.

your equation is 18.14 million = .287 * x

solve for x to get x = 18.14 million / .287 = 63.20557491 million.

that's the number of people who owned smart phones in december of 2010.
