So I got that - and I think I figured out the problem/issue (thanks again to @Daffadile).
The display in the Coin Ticker display shows 'Satoshi's' for all the alt coins, but knowing that alt coins do not have Satoshi's (i.e. LiteCoin has litoshi's), the application of that column is the value of THAT alt coin TO a Bitcoin/Satoshi.
So - Knowing that (in the example shown) that BTC Satoshi = 100,000,000 @ 720, if ETH Satoshi is 1,546,577, then 1,546,577 * .00000720 (the Satoshi value of BTC) = 11, or the price of ETH.
The math/logic works - so unless I'm wrong (?) - it makes sense (I just couldn't figure out the display issues as to why it showed 'Satoshi's' for other alt coins).

Thanks Daffadile for the reply.
If I understand your response, the Satoshi equivalent as applied to all other alt coins uses the BTC as a base STANDARD? (this is how I read your reply).
So while BTC Satoshi's will always be 100,000,000 - other coins Satoshi's will vary depending on their VALUE to a BTC Satoshi. Correct?

So I started using the app "Coin Ticker" (not sure how to upload a screenshot) and it has a pretty good/near RT display of currency values.
However, it's interesting in that the main screen shows similar to this:
COIN | SATOSHI | USD BTC 100,000,000 720 ETH 1,546,577 11 XMR 685,066 5 DASH 1,279,196 9 XRP 1,149 .008 ....
I understand the measure of units of a Satoshi when applied to BTC (i.e. a hundred millionith of a coin), but what about the use of 'Satoshi' when applied to all the other currencies?
