78 answered "yes" plus 19 males who answered "no", so 78 + 19 = 97 people either answered "yes" or were male. Divide 97 by the total number of people who answered the question. Hint: Assume that nobody answered "maybe" or anything but "yes" or "no" (because unless you make this assumption, you cannot answer the question.
