In Rebecca's neighborhood, 89% of the houses have garages and 48% have a

why are there two of these?
Answer:

53.9

Explanation:

89% of all houses have garages and 48% have garages and pools. We try to find houses with a pool that have a garage. Let's assume that there are 100 houses in her neighborhood. then 89 of them have garages and 48 of them have garages and pools. 48 / 89 = about 0.5393. Conver this to percent and we get 53.9
