Explanation

Total population = 200,000. Homeowners = 120,000. Renters = 80,000. Total participants = 70% of 200,000 = 140,000. Homeowner participants = 90% of 120,000 = 108,000. Renter participants = 140,000 - 108,000 = 32,000. Percentage = 32,000 / 80,000 = 40%.

AI explanation

Out of the total population of 200,000 residents, 70% participate in community events, giving a total of 140,000 participants. The number of homeowners participating is 90% of 120,000, which equals 108,000. This leaves 32,000 participating renters out of the 80,000 total renters in the community. The percentage of participating renters is (32,000 / 80,000) * 100, which is 40%.
