A company that designs websites primarily for minority-owned businesse

Hi JusTLucK04,

The percents in the table are specific enough to help you do a "comparison" instead of a calculation, but if you wanted to see the math, then here it is:

In the first column, we have 459 Latino respondents:

26% think that a website will help to expand the customer base:
26%(459) = about 119

6% think that a website will help maintain/preserve market share:
6%(459) = about 28

The second question in the set asks if the idea that the second number is LESS THAN 25% of the first number.

25%(119) = about 30. Since 28 < 30, this IS a reasonable/supported conclusion.

Now, performing these calculations is NOT really what this question is about (and it's not required either). The "shortcut" is to compare the percentages, since the percentages are both based on the SAME total number of respondents in the survey (and as such, THAT number doesn't really matter to this question).

In the Latino column...is 6% less than 1/4 of 25%.....YES
In the African American column...is 6% less than 1/4 of 29%....YES
In the Asian American column...is 4% less than 1/4 of 25%....YES
In the Native American column...is 6% less than 1/4 of 25%...YES

This is a constant, reasonable conclusion, so the answer to the second question is YES/SUPPORTED.
