The number of people above age 30 who are for the candidate can be calculated by summing the numbers in the "For" column for ages 31-40 and over 40.
For ages 31-40: 30
For over 40: 25
Therefore, the total number of people above age 30 who are for the candidate is 30 + 25 = 55.
To determine the number of people above age 30 who are for the candidate, we need to add the number of people who are for the candidate from the age groups 31-40 and over 40.
From the table, we see that 30 people in the age group 31-40 are for the candidate.
Additionally, 25 people in the age group over 40 are for the candidate.
Adding these two numbers together:
30 + 25 = 55
Therefore, the number of people above age 30 who are for the candidate is 55.
To answer the question, we need to find the number of people above age 30 who are for the candidate.
Looking at the table, we find the following information:
- For people aged 21-30, 40 are for the candidate.
- For people aged 31-40, 30 are for the candidate.
- For people over 40, 25 are for the candidate.
To find the total number of people above age 30 who are for the candidate, we add the number of people in each age group:
40 + 30 + 25 = 95
Therefore, the answer is 95.
