First subtract 84 from 100 to get 16%, the percentage of other transportation.
Then Convert 16% into fractions (hint: 16/100)
Now just simplify the fraction.

The amount of automobile transportation can be expressed as 84/100ths of all transportation.
That means that all non-automobile transportation is 16/100ths.
16/100 simplifies to 4/25, and that's your answer.

84%=84/100=21/25.
Hence balance fraction is 1-(21/25)=4/25
