Let's rise the numbers even more... - Divisions by zero

The data doesn’t really make sense, about 50% of the population would be LGBTQ+? 🤔
What makes you think 50%? The highest percentage in one particular is about 28% meaning the average of the whole population is of course much lower.
The graph says % of total population, you’ve got 28% for gen z and 15% for gen y, that’s 43% right there…
Ah yes, you’re right. I read it as “% ot total population of that specific age group” and I guess that is what is meant, but it is not very well phrased indeed.
