During a Thanksgiving weekend, a car rental company rented seven-tenths of the vehicles with including three fifths of the 4WDs that it had. If 60% of the vehicles are 4WDs, then what percent of the vehicles that were not rented were not 4WDs?
A. 20%
B. 30%
C. 40%
D. 60%
E. 25%
The OA is A.
60% of the vehicles are 4WDs:
60 are 4WDs and 40 are not.
Seven tenths (70%) of the vehicles are rented:
70 rented and 30 not.
Three fifths of the 4WDs were rented:
(3/5)*60 = 36 4WDs were rented and 24 not.
So, out of 30 vehicles that were not rented 24 were 4WDs and 6 not: 6/30 = 20%. Option A.
Please, can anyone explain another way to solve this PS question? Thanks![/b]
