A) % of the families have no car or one cars = 28%

B) % of the families are homeowners = 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Home Owner's with no car or one car = 18

Homeowner with two or more cars = 107

Not a homeowners with no car or one car = 52

Not a homeowner with two or more cars = 73

Total families surveyed = 250

A) percentage of the families have no car or one cars = (Home Owner's with no car or one car + Not a homeowners with no car or one car)/Total families surveyed × 100

% of the families have no car or one cars = (18 + 52)/250 × 100

% of the families have no car or one cars = 70/250 × 100 = 0.28 × 100

% of the families have no car or one cars = 28%

B) percentage of the families are homeowners = (Home Owner's with no car or one car + Homeowner with two or more cars)/ Total families surveyed × 100

% of the families are homeowners = (18 + 107)/250 × 100

% of the families are homeowners = 125/250 × 100 = 0.5 × 100

% of the families are homeowners = 50%
