Answers

  1. Answer:
    B) 21.3(%)
    Step-by-step explanation:
    Since it is asking which percent is closest to the amount of licensed drivers under 30 years old in 2003, all you need to do is subtract the percent of drivers over 30 years old starting with 100%.
    100% – 20.4% (60+ years) = 79.6%
    79.6% – 16.7% (50-59 years) = 62.9%
    62.9% – 21.2% (40-49 years) = 41.7%
    41.7% – 19.6% (30-39 years) = 22.1%
    The rest of the licensed drivers were under 30 years old. Therefore, the percent of people who were under 30 years old who had a license and drove in 2003 are 22.1%. The closest we can get to that is B) 21.3%. Hope this helps!
