Well. If you get 29% of 5 cars that is 145%. This was a little confusing but I am defiantly sure it is correct. I like to use simpler numbers to see if I am doing the work right. So I said if he has a 50 % likely hood to find a car that was expired and had 1 car. It would be 50 percent. Now if he had 2nt got it the first time it would be a 100 % chance to find the car expired. Hope I didn't co fuse you more
