1 car - 4 wheels
1 motorcycle - 2 wheels

x - number of cars
y - number of motorcycles

so, there are 70 vehicles: x + y = 70
and all togeather they've got 258 wheels: 4*x + 2*y = 258
because each car has 4 wheels, so all car wheels = 4*x,
likewise 2*y for motorcycles

x + y = 70  /* 4
4 x + 2y = 258

4 x + 4 y = 280  (R1)
4 x + 2y = 258    (R2)

2y = 22  /:2      it is R1 - R2
x = 70 - y

y = 11    /motorcycles
x = 70 - 11 = 59  /cars

check:
59 + 11 = 70  ok
59 * 4 + 11 * 2 = 236 + 22 = 258  ok

35%

Explanation:

The overall percentage must add up to 100%

Because of this...

100% (total) - 49% (swimming) = 51%

51% - 16% (biking) = 35% (rollerblading)
