Answer
Correct Answer: 48% of the total members own only one car each.
Explanation
Work with 100 members (percent model)
- 20% → 20 members own 2 cars each.
- Remaining = 80 members.
- 40% of remaining → 0.4 × 80 = 32 members own 3 cars each.
- Remaining members → 80 − 32 = 48 own 1 car each.
Evaluate statements
- Only 20% own three cars each → false (it is 32%).
- 48% own only one car each → true.
- 60% own at least two cars → 20% + 32% = 52% → false.
- 80% own at least one car → actually 100% own ≥1 → false as written.
Final Answer48% of the total members own only one car each.
