What percentage of respondents aged 31+ indicated a favourite style other than…

For a table where survey respondents are broken down by age group and preferred music style, the count of people in a given age band is the sum of that age column's entries across every listed style. To find what percentage of that age band prefers something other than one specific style, subtract that style's count from the age-band total, then divide by the same total and convert to a percentage.

1. Read off every genre's Age 31+ figure from the table: Classical 17, Pop 5, Rock 14, Jazz 11, Blues 15, Hip-Hop 4, and Ambient 2.

2. Add these seven values to get the total number of Age 31+ respondents: 17 + 5 + 14 + 11 + 15 + 4 + 2 = 68.

3. Subtract the Classical count from this total to get the number who chose a style other than Classical: 68 − 17 = 51.

4. Divide this by the Age 31+ total and express it as a percentage: 51 ÷ 68 = 0.75 = 75%.

As an independent check, the Classical share of the Age 31+ group is 17 ÷ 68 = 25%, and its complement, 100% − 25% = 75%, matches the value obtained directly, confirming the result.

So 75% of Age 31+ respondents indicated a favourite style other than Classical.
