Steps/Work
Consider a group of 100 men and 300 women, a total of 400 people. 30% of them, which is 120, form a group of people who don't own a car.
Half of them are men, and the other half are women, more precisely 60.
It means that there are 100 - 60 = 40 men who own a car, and this represents 40/400 = 1/10 of the total.
