One thing to note: 4) says 444.5 million people x 28 k = 75.6 billion spent each year. The 75.6 billion came from 2.7 million * 28K.

Which seems wrong to me. Only ONE COUPLE spends 28k per wedding. The cap should really be $28k/wedding * 2.7mil wedding. Fancy design, flawed math.
2.7 * 28 = 75.6

The final number itself isn't flawed, but the graphical equation on the deck does have the math symbols in the wrong places.
