Answer: 75 people

Step-by-step explanation:

1).

we have percentage of people who invested in 18-29 year category

=31%

we need

n=40 people

x=40/0.3 =133.33 or 134 people

2).

in 65+ category

percentage =54%

we need

n=40

this is

54% of x =40

or

0.54x=40

or

x=40/0.54 =70.07 or 75 people
