Percent breakdown — ownership counts: Identify the statement that is definitely true. 20% of members own only two cars each. Of the remaining members, 40% own three cars each; the rest own only one car each. Which statement is definitely true? Select the correct statement.

Difficulty: Easy

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 Answer
48% of the total members own only one car each.
