Let the number of potential voters be 100..
Person not likely to vote =40%=40, so person likely to vote = 100-40=60
% who would not support ordinance A = (100-35-25)%=40%
So in number = 40% of 60 =60*40/100=24
24 as % of 100 is 100*24/100=24%

We can let n = the total number of voters.
Thus, 0.6n are likely to vote.
Since 100 - 35 - 25 = 40 percent of likely voters said they will vote against ordinance A, 0.4(0.6n) = 0.24n voters will vote against it.
So 0.24n/n = 0.24 = 24% of the potential voters are likely to vote against it.
Answer: C
