its straightforward. However, the question wording throwed me off into other direction.

the x bicycles were sold in each of the years 1990 and 1993 : I took x value to be same value across years, saw other responses, looks like they did not face this.

same for me... so confused about "this market", "producer" took me a lot of time to firgure out the relationship between western european producer then this market
ahmer
It was wordy for me at first !

but upon reading it carefully, it says, In Western Europe, x bicycles were sold each in 1990 and 1993"

which means total bicycles sold in Western Europe (x) = [Bicycles sold by Western Europe Manufacturers] + [Bicycles sold by all other manufacturers]

And then it goes on to ask only about Western Europe manufacturers and giving their percentages for the corresponding years.

It actually took me 5-10 minutes because I wasn't paying too much attention at the meaning and was rushing through the problem.

This post is for anyone who had the same problem as me.

Thanks
