lyrae · Answer

Shoot and we'll see where we can go from there.

twizttiez · Answer

Well won't i have to take 34 and add it to 24 idk though I'm guessing xD

anonymous · Answer

total number of ppl who are 50 is 32+24=56

number of ppl of 50 years age in group a is 32

thus,thepercentage is 32/50 *100 

which gives us 64 percent
