It is not possible to solve this problem and to answer this question without making additional hypotheses.

Indeed, we only can say that the total opposed to the idea is the sum of 35 and 25, which is 60;

But we can not conclude that the remaining students are in favor, because many of them may be indifferent to the idea
or simply do not know about it, at all.
