Something’s not right.

Using strongly/somewhat for approve and disapprove:
39.5 + 0.5 + 55.5 + 0.5 + 3.5 = 99.5
That could work.

Unless 40.5, 56.5 and 3.5 are themselves additions of rounded numbers. It’s generally how that works.

=40, not 41
=56, not 57
Its only possible if you round up 40.1 to 41, which is also bad math. When there are 3 variables properly rounded up, you can only have 3x0.5 added.

What I say is that there is more than three variables. The three variables are already the result of addition if other variables rounded.

39.5 = 40 0.5 = 1 40 + 1 = 41
55.5 = 56 0.5 = 1 56 + 1 = 57
3.5 = 4
Since the original 5 numbers only add up to 95.5, you have a leftover 0.5 to distribute between them. After doing so, you would have what could have been the original results before rounding.

That is doing it wrong. You should only ever round as the last step before display.

Could they have 40.74 and rounded it down to the nearest .5?
