In a poll, 800 people were asked how favorable they felt toward a certain bill proposed in Congress. The table above shows the number of those polled that responded in each of the five ways. What is the total percent of those who felt neutral, mildly unfavorable, or very unfavorable toward the proposed bill?

This percentage would imply that only 416 respondents felt neutral or unfavorable, which is significantly lower than the actual total. The calculations to achieve 52% do not correspond with the data provided in the poll, making this choice incorrect.

Choosing 58% suggests that 464 respondents felt neutral or unfavorable. However, this figure does not accurately reflect the sum of the neutral, mildly unfavorable, and very unfavorable responses recorded in the poll. The calculations do not align with the actual numbers, resulting in an incorrect choice.

A percentage of 60% indicates that 480 respondents were neutral or unfavorable. This estimate is still too low based on the actual data from the poll, as it fails to account for all respondents who expressed neutrality and unfavorable sentiments, thus making it an inaccurate option.

Selecting 72% would mean that 576 respondents felt neutral or unfavorable, which overestimates the actual responses recorded in the poll. This choice does not align with the provided data and therefore is not a valid option.
