Given that 20 percent of all Americans own neither an automobile nor a bicycle, we have 100 - 20 = 80% of all Americans who own an automobile or bicycle or both.

=> Automobile owner + Bicycle owner - Owners of both = 80

=> 75 + 15 - Owners of both = 80

Owners of both = 10%.

The correct answer: E

Hope this helps!

\[? = x\,\% \]
Trivial application of the simplifier :
\[80 = 75 + 15 - x\,\,\,\,\, \Rightarrow \,\,\,? = 10\,\% \]

We can let the total number of Americans = 100 and create the following equation:

100 = number who own an automobile + number who own a bike - number who own both + number who own neither

100 = 75 + 15 - b + 20

100 = 110 - b

b = 10

Answer: E
