Answer

Percentage of times that she goes to school by car = 41%

Explanation

It is given that Shelia walks to school 35% of the time and rides the bus 24% of the time.

Given that she only has 3 alternative ways to get to school (walking, taking the bus or going to school by car), it means the remaining of the time, she rides a car.

(Percentage of times that she walks to school) + (Percentage of times that she takes the bus) + (Percentage of times that she goes to school by car) = 100%

35% + 24% + (Percentage of times that she goes to school by car) = 100%

59% + (Percentage of times that she goes to school by car) = 100%

Percentage of times that she goes to school by car = 100% - 59%

Percentage of times that she goes to school by car = 41%

Hope this Helps!!!
