Answer:

40 people

Step-by-step explanation:

First thing, you have to find the area below the 40 - 55 line in the histogram. The area can be find using the area of a rectangle: side × side

Doing this you'll find an area of 60.

After that, find the total area of the histogram in the same way: separate it in rectangles and use the formula for the area of a rectangle, and after you'll find a total area of 100

Now you have to do a rule of three:

We know from the question statement that the amount of people with 40 - 55 years old is 25, and that area correspond to 60, so:

60 ------- 24

100 ------- x

60•x = 24•100

60x = 2400

x = 2400/60

x = 40
