Answer:

People voting in the election over 65 year old are 149 .

Explanation:

Formula

$Percentage = (Part\ value* 100)/(Total\ value)$

As shown in the diagram percentage of the people over 65 is 25%.

Percentage = 25 %

Total value = 596

Putting values in the formula

$25 = (Part\ value* 100)/(596)$

$Part\ value = (596* 25)/(100)$

$Part\ value = (14900)/(100)$

Part value = 149

Therefore the people voting in the election over 65 year old are 149 .
