    1.

    0.9 million x (1+1.3) x (1.34)

    equals

    0.9 million x 2.3 x 1.34 = 2.77 million

    2.

    2.77

    ▬▬ = 3.082

    0.9

    reduce that by 1 to 2.082

    corresponds to a 208.2% increase in number of views from season 1

    to season 3.

    900,000*2.3=2070000*1.34=

    2773800

    2773800/900000-1=2.082

    208.2%

    or 2773800-900,000/900,000=

    =2.082=208.2%
