Solution

The correct option is A 907200
First, to find the number of U.S. residents who visit European countries every year, we will need to determine how many residents hold passports: 36% of 315 million = 0.36×315=113.4 million.
Next, we can calculate how many of those passport-holders travel internationally each year: 8% of 113.4 million = 0.08×113.4=9072 million.
Finally, we can calculate how many of those international travelers visit Europe each year: 10% of 9.072 million = 0.01×9072=0.9072 million.
0.9072 million is equivalent to 907,200, which is (C).
