  1. Average screen hours per day = 4.5
  2. Days per week = 7
  3. Weeks per year = 52
  4. Average sleep per day = 8
  5. Hours per week = 4.5*7 = 31.5
  6. Hours per year = 31.5*52 = 1638
  7. Full days per year = 1638/24 = 68.25
  8. waking_hours = (24-8)*365.2425 = 5843.88
  9. Share of waking time = 5843.88>0?1638/5843.88*100:0 = 28.0293

Values are shown to six significant figures here; the arithmetic itself runs on exact fractions and is only rounded where a number is printed.
