Answer 1

To find the percentage of families that are not homeowners, subtract the number of homeowner families from the total number of families and then divide by the total number of families. To find the percentage of families that have two or more cars, add up the number of families that have two or more cars and then divide by the total number of families.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) What percentage of the families are not homeowners?

To find the percentage of families that are not homeowners, we need to subtract the number of homeowner families from the total number of families and then divide by the total number of families.

In this case, the total number of families is 200 and the number of homeowner families is 84.

So, the percentage of families that are not homeowners is:

((200 - 84) / 200) * 100 = 58%

(b) What percentage of the families have two or more cars?

To find the percentage of families that have two or more cars, we need to add up the number of families that have two or more cars and then divide by the total number of families. In this case, the number of families that have two or more cars is 38 + 62 = 100. So, the percentage of families that have two or more cars is:

(100 / 200) * 100 = 50%
