Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: Regis Motors had its best sales year ever, and most of its customers were from Blomenville. However, the people in Blomenville actually bought most of their new cars from other places.
Reasoning: Regis Motors sold a record number of cars last year, with more than half of those sales going to Blomenville residents, yet those sales accounted for less than half of the total cars purchased by Blomenville residents.
Analysis: This stimulus is a classic numbers-and-percentages puzzle. We know that 'most' (over 50%) of Regis's total sales went to Blomenville, but those sales represented 'not most' (under 50%) of Blomenville's total purchases. This implies that the total number of cars bought by Blomenville residents must be significantly larger than the total number of cars sold by Regis Motors. Look for an answer choice that reflects this mathematical relationship between the two different groups.
