(b)20%

(c)49%

Explanation:

(a)In the age group 58 and above:

• Number in favor of building the skateboard ramps=6

• Number opposed to building the skateboard ramps=44
• Total = 50

Percentage of those in favor =
`(6)/(50)X100 =12\%`

(b)In the age group 18-37

• Number in favor of building the skateboard ramps=40

• Number opposed to building the skateboard ramps=10
• Total = 50

Percentage of those opposed to it =
`(10)/(50)X100 =20\%`

(c)

• Total Number of those in favor of building the skateboard ramps=73

• Total Number opposed to building the skateboard ramps=77
• Total = 150

Percentage of those in favour =
`(73)/(150)X100 =48.67 \approx 49\%`
