A regional survey found that 60% of all families who indicated an intention to buy a new car bought a new car within 3 months, that 10% of families who did not indicate an intention to buy a new car bought one within 3 months, and that 24% indicated an intention to buy a new car. If a family chosen at random bought a car, find the probability (as a percent) that the family had not previously indicated an intention to buy a car. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
