It is easy to say you are mathematically minded by nature, but it's another to 'show your work.' This question is commonly asked in Dropbox interviews and for that reason, well worth preparing a solid answer to. To have a great response, you should know offhand how many users Dropbox has overall and other helpful statistics.

"I have read that Dropbox has over 500 million users, which I believe 30% are based in the United States. Of those, approximately 12 million are paying customers. So, by my research and calculations, I would guesstimate that there are 150 million users in the USA and about 3-4 million paid accounts."
