We see that there are 300 x 0.3 = 90 trucks.

Also, that 0.2 x 300 = 60 are diesel.

We can use the formula:

Total = Trucks + Diesel - Both + Neither

300 = 90 + 60 - 15 + N

300 = 135 + N

165 = N

Since 165/300 = 0.55, we see that 55% of the vehicles are neither trucks nor diesel.

Answer: D

Total vehicle = 300; Trucks = 30% of 300 = 90
Diesel vehicles = 20% of 300 = 60
Diesel trucks = 15

Non diesel trucks = 90 - 15 = 75
Other diesel vehicles = 60 - 15 =45

The percentage (%) of vehicles that are neither trucks nor diesel
$$=\frac{\left(\left(300\right)-\left(75+15+45\right)\right)}{300}\cdot\frac{100}{1}$$
$$=\frac{165}{300}\cdot\frac{100}{1}$$
$$=55\ \%$$

Correct choice = Option D
