Question

What percent light transmission should the windshield allow at least?

Answer 1

The windshield should allow at least 0% light transmission.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent light transmission that the windshield should allow at least can be calculated based on the market shares for replacing automobile windshields. Let's add up the market shares of the companies that offer windshield replacements.

1. Smooth as Glass Repair Company: 16%
2. The Auto Glass Doctor Company: 6% (7 firms) + 3% (8 firms) = 55% combined
3. Your Car Shield Company: 6% (7 firms) + 3% (8 firms) = 55% combined

To calculate the minimum light transmission, we subtract the combined market shares from 100%: 100% - (16% + 55% + 55%) = 100% - 126% = -26%. Since we can't have a negative percent, the windshield should allow at least 0% light transmission.
