Total number can be assumed as 100 as the question is gives only percents and no concrete numbers
Number of employees who live more than 10 miles away, and carpool = 30*\(\frac{60}{100}\) = 18 Total number of employees who car pool is given as 40% = 40
Number of employees who car live 10 miles or less and carpool = 40-18 = 22 or 22%

One approach is to use the Double Matrix Method. This technique can be used for most questions featuring a population in which each member has two characteristics associated with it (aka overlapping sets questions).
Here, we have a population of employees , and the two characteristics are: - lives over ten miles from work or doesn't live over ten miles from work - uses carpool or doesn't use carpool
