Question

In a survey, 300 respondents were asked whether they own a vehicle or not. If yes, they were further asked to mention whether they own a car or scooter or both. Their responses are tabulated below. What percent of respondents do not own a scooter?

Vehicle type      | Men | Women
Own vehicle - Car      | 40  | 34
Own vehicle - Scooter  | 31  | 20
Own vehicle - Both     | 60  | 46
Do not own vehicle     | 20  | 10

(Enter the numerical answer. No negative or partial marking.)

Accepted Answer

48 percent of respondents do not own a scooter. A survey of 300 people categorises vehicle ownership into four groups: car only, scooter only, both car and scooter, and no vehicle. We need to count everyone who does NOT own a scooter, which means those with a car only plus those with no vehicle at all. Then express that count as a percentage of 300.
