Solution

To find the percentage of subscribers who buy the digital edition only or regularly read the business section, we first need to identify the number of subscribers in each category.

From the data, we can see that:

  • The number of subscribers who buy the digital edition only is 200.
  • The number of subscribers who regularly read the business section is 250.

However, we need to be careful not to double count the subscribers who both buy the digital edition only and regularly read the business section. This number is 130.

So, the total number of subscribers who buy the digital edition only or regularly read the business section is 200 (digital only) + 250 (regular readers) - 130 (double counted) = 320.

Finally, to find the percentage, we divide this number by the total number of subscribers and multiply by 100:

(320 / 500) * 100 = 64%

So, 64% of subscribers buy the digital edition only or regularly read the business section.
