d. 95

Answer 1

To find out how many people above age 30 are for the candidate, we need to sum the number of people who are "for" the candidate in the age categories "31-40" and "over 40."

From the table:
- For age 31-40, the number "for" the candidate is 30.
- For age over 40, the number "for" the candidate is 25.

Now, we add these two numbers together:

30 (for age 31-40) + 25 (for age over 40) = 55

So, the total number of people above age 30 who are for the candidate is **55**.

The answer is **a. 55**.
