Unhappy Stats:Help me in these questions

The questions may be simple but are driving me nuts..

Q1 :A firm accepts either American express or Visa Credit card.A total of 24 percent of its customers carry an American Express card,61 percent carry a Visa card and 11 percent carry both.what percentage of its customers carry a credit card that the establishment will accept?
My answer is 82 percent

Q2:
At a certain stage of criminal inverstigation the inspector is 60% convinced of the guilt of the criminal.Suppose that a new evidence shows that the criminal has certain charatersitics.If 20 percent of the population possesses this chrarteristic,how certain the guilt of the suspect should the inspector now be if it turns out that the suspect has this characteristic.
