Yes.

70% of the customers buy a coffee drink and 30% buy food.

The sum of it is 100% already.

So 20% of it just another addition of information since it cannot exceed 100% of percentage (100% + 20% = 120%).

It also contains a subset for both percentage.

P(C^F) = P(C) × P(F)

0.2 = 0.3×0.7

0.2 = 0.21 is not a true statement
