Explanation:

you filled out the table correctly.

but now what is meant by "how many" ? the absolute number of prone in the study ? or the percentage (as an assumption for the whole population ?

based in the table

25 people (or 50%) regularly text while driving.

7 people regularly text while driving and did not get a citation. that if is 7 of 25 regularly texting people (or 28%). and 7 out of 50 people in total (or 14%).
