\end{tabular}
\]

How many people who are 40 or younger have no opinion?

A. 185
B. 25
C. 43
D. 8

Answer :

To solve this problem, we need to find out how many people aged 40 or younger have no opinion about the candidate.

1. Look at the Age Groups: We are considering the age groups "21-30" and "31-40" because these groups include people who are 40 or younger.

2. Identify the Numbers for ‘No Opinion’:
- In the "21-30" age group, the number of people with no opinion is 18.
- In the "31-40" age group, the number of people with no opinion is 25.

3. Calculate the Total Number: To find the total number of people aged 40 or younger with no opinion, simply add the numbers from these two age groups:
- [tex]\(18 + 25 = 43\)[/tex]

Therefore, the total number of people aged 40 or younger who have no opinion is 43.
