Tooten County is populated by a significantly lower percentage of young families than the typical county in the nation. Yet, per capita retail sales of children's bicycles are above the national average.

We are told that lower percentage of young families but high sales of kid's cycles.

Let's us think some probable assumption.

1. What if these young families gift bicycles to others ( This shows that they won't prefer other gifts as options :lol:

)
2. They manufacture best cycles in the nation.

Option A is some what close to our thinking. Other options are out of scope.

There is lower proportion of young families, but bicycles are sold more than nation's average. The choice A explains why bicycles are sold more in the county.
