Answer 1

To calculate the percentage of people that own two-wheel vehicles in Wurtsboro, we need to find the ratio of the number of people with two-wheel vehicles in Wurtsboro to the total number of people in Wurtsboro, and then multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.

In this case, the number of people with two-wheel vehicles in Wurtsboro is given as 77, and the total number of people in Wurtsboro (including both two-wheel and four-wheel vehicle owners) is the sum of the two columns for Wurtsboro, which is 77 + 64 = 141.

Now we can calculate the percentage:

Percentage = (Number of people with two-wheel vehicles in Wurtsboro / Total number of people in Wurtsboro) × 100

Percentage = (77 / 141) × 100

Percentage ≈ 54.6%

Therefore, the percentage of people that own two-wheel vehicles in Wurtsboro is approximately 54.6%.

The correct option is 54.6%.
