Answer: 9/25 or 36%

Explanation:

72 + 28 + 62 + 38 = 200

There are 200 people in total and 72 are youngsters who like sport cars.

So, the number of youngsters who like cars out of the total number of people is 72/200.

Now, find a greatest common divisor. In this case, the greatest common divisor is 8.

72 / 8 = 9

200 / 8 = 25

9/25 (fraction)

25 * 4 = 100

9 * 4 = 36

36/100 = 36% (percentage)
