Expert Solution
Step 1

In 2014, 2.756 billion dollars of e-cigarettes were sold worldwide.

Note that, 1 billion dollars =1000 million dollars.

Thus,

2.756 billion dollars = 2.756×1000 million dollars=2756 million dollars

That is, the sales in 2014 is 2756 million dollars.

The table can be completed as shown below:

Year 2008 2011 2014
Sales (in millions of dollars) 20 195 2756
