The inspection failure rate was highest for vehicles that were ___ years old, where approximately ___ percent of vehicles of that age failed inspection due to faulty lights.
The inspection failure rate is represented by the grey bars. It is the highest for 20 - 25 so we can say that inspection failure rate was highest for vehicles that were 20 - 25 years old.
In this group, what is the approximate % of vehicles of that age that had faulty lights? We see that 25% vehicles of that age had faulty lights (and hence failed inspection). So our answer is 25%.
ANSWER: 20 - 25 years, 25%
Note that it is NOT 25/65 i.e. about 40% (anyway that option is not available). More importantly, why? Because our base is 'vehicles of that age', not 'vehicles of that age that failed inspection.' Read the question again.
... "approximately ___ percent of vehicles of that age" failed inspection due to faulty lights?

thank you

so the second part of the answer is a percentage of the failures themselves in our case it must be 25%(percentage of faulty light failures) of 65% (total failures) which gives us approximately 15%
thank you
