Step-by-step explanation:

Hey im not quite sure but i think this is it.

No. of selected residents = 284

No. who supported the construction = 219

No. who did not support the construction = 45

Therefore total no of people who polled = 219 + 45 = 264

The problem is that the no. of people who polled is not equal to the no. they said would be polled.
