这题与OG上的一题是一样的

说10%的motorists即exceed speed又receive tickets,设motorists为M,那么M*10%就是即exceed speed又receive tickets的motorists

20%的exceed speed的motorists没有receive tickets,那么可以得出80%的exceed speed的motorists receive tickets，设exceed speed的motorists为E，那么E*80%就是即exceed speed又receive tickets的motorists

那么M*10%=E*80% ==>E/M=1/8=12.5%， E是exceed speed的motorists；M是motorists；正好使问题的答案
