We are interested in the proportion of Internet users that download music files online and that share music files from their computers.
Let us name the columns of the two-way table "download online” and "do not download online”, while we name the rows of the two-way table "share music files” and "do not share music files”.
 Download online  Do not download online  Total  Share music files  Do not share music files  Total 
29% of the Internet users download music files online, while 21% share music. files and 12% do both. We also know that the table needs to contain 100% of the Internet users in total.
The remaining percentages can be determined using the known row/column totals.
 Download online  Do not download online  Total  Share music files 12%21%12%=9%21% Do not share music files 29%12%=17%71%9%=62%100%21%=79% Total 29%100%29%=71%100%
