H 26
G 40
J 162

Answer 1

To determine how many residents did not support building a new park, 4% of 650 city residents were calculated, resulting in 26 residents.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many residents polled did not support building a new park, you need to calculate 4% of the 650 city residents who were surveyed. The calculation is as follows:

Number of residents not supporting the park = 4% of 650

That is equivalent to 0.04 × 650.

Now, we compute the value:

0.04 × 650 = 26

Therefore, 26 residents polled did not support building the new park.
