The bar graph sheds light on the percentage of netizens present in each country of the Middle East in the year of 2017. The number of internet users is given in million.

It is evident that Iran constituted the highest number of internet users while Lebanon had the least. Remaining countries were in their subsequent positions in the year 2017.

In details, among the given Middle Eastern countries, Iran had the maximum number, 56.7 million, internet users. Saudi Arabia with 24.15 million and Iraq with 14 million netizens stood in the second and third places respectively. Surprisingly, Yemen, Israel, Jordan and Syria were in close quarters to each other occupied by a little over 6 million users of this technology. The least internet-dependent country was Lebanon, where only 4.6 million people had access to the internet. And the United Arab Emirates had double the number of internet users than that of Lebanon in this year.

Hi, with regard to the writing task 1 sample- "The chart below shows the internet users (in millions) in different countries in the Middle East as of June 2017.", the model answer shows the data as percentages while the title shows the numbers as millions (population). I'm confused.
