Hi Chan,
Great question!
While I'll let the author of this case answer as well, it does look like this has been left out.
I agree that it appears to be an assumption (estimate) that the candidate would need to consider (perhaps ultimately provided by the interviewer).

Hi Chan,
Yes, it seems to be an assumption that is not directly supported by any exhibit or other piece of information.
Best,

Hi there,
Yes, it's an assumption and in a real case you should challenge that (ask the interviewer where we have the number from or suggest that you verify this number as part of your next steps).
Best,
Cristian
