Answer

There is approximately $69\%$ of respondents believing that divorce is morally acceptable.

Work Step by Step

We find that the vertical axis represents the three choices of responses to the question, while the horizontal axis represents the percent of people favoring a response out of three. Therefore, to find the number of respondents believing divorce is morally acceptable, we only need to match the length of the corresponding bar to the value of the horizontal axis. The 'morally acceptable' bar almost reaches the $70\%$ line. So there is approximately $69\%$ of respondents believing that divorce is morally acceptable.
