Well, I guess I got the answer (at least easier than what I did before
and I am sure there are much more elegant ways.)
preserve
table income [pw=multiplier], c(n id_var n car) replace
gen percentage=table2*100/table1
list income percentage
restore
I have to now learn how to put this into a loop. (Not sure) Coz I
need to repeat this same exercise for car, TV,.. for some 10-15
items....
