Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

A rated 70% of 100=70

B rated 20% of 100=20

C rated 20% of 100=20

From A, 50% for cities      >>50% of 70=35

From A, 40% for suburbs >>40% of 70=28

From A, 10% for rural      >>10% of 70=7

 

From B, 60% for cities      >>60% of 20=12

From B, 20% for suburbs >>20% of 20=4

From B, 20% for rural      >>20% of 20=4

 

From C, 90% for cities      >>90% of 10=9

From C, 5% for suburbs >>5% of 10=0.5

From C, 5% for rural      >>5% of 10=0.5
