What the source says
In 2019, in the EU as a whole, nearly 55 % of people in the top income group practised sport and physical activities, as opposed to 37 % of people on the lowest incomes (see Figure 3).
Checked: the figure 55%is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
