Question 97

570 license renewers were younger than 36.

To find the number of license renewers younger than 36, we first calculate how many were 36 or older by finding 62% of 1,500, which equals 930. Subtracting this from 1,500 gives us 570, the number of renewers who were younger than 36.

A) 570

This option is correct because it accurately represents the number of license renewers younger than 36. By subtracting the 930 renewers who are 36 or older from the total of 1,500, we confirm that 570 individuals are indeed younger than 36.

B) 620

This option is incorrect as it overestimates the number of license renewers younger than 36. If 620 were the correct number, that would imply a total of 880 license renewers aged 36 or older, which contradicts the given statistic of 930.

C) 790

This option is also incorrect. Choosing 790 suggests that the number of renewers aged 36 or older would be 710, which again does not align with the provided figure of 930, thus making this choice invalid.

D) 950

This option is incorrect as it significantly exceeds the total number of license renewers. If 950 were younger than 36, that would imply only 550 were 36 or older, which contradicts the stated percentage of 62%.

Conclusion

The calculation clearly shows that 570 is the only option that matches the derived figure of license renewers younger than 36. All other options either misinterpret the total or provide figures that do not align with the information given, reinforcing that option A is definitively correct.
