Strategic Advice: You rarely need to use all of the information presented in a table to answer a data analysis question. Read the question carefully to make sure you use only what you need.
Getting to the Answer: To calculate the percentage of the vehicles for each type that has less than 50,000 miles `(mlt50,000)`, divide the number of vehicles of that type with less than 50,000 miles by the by the total number of vehicles of that type.
`A:2-"door car"=(9)/(48)=0.1875`
`B:4-"door car"=(16)/(98)=0.1633`
`C:SUV=(19)/(94)=0.2021`
`D:Truck=(12)/(60)=0.2`
Choice (B) is correct because 16.33% is a lower percentage than any of the other types of vehicles.
