Answer 1

To find the number of people above age 30 who are for the candidate, we need to look at the age groups "31–40" and "Over 40."

From the table:

• For the age group 31–40, 30 people are for the candidate.
• For the age group Over 40, 25 people are for the candidate.

Now we add these two figures together:

30 (for 31–40) + 25 (for Over 40) = 55

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