A total of 120 + 25 = 145 people prefer cherries. Out of those, 120 are from the North.
Calculate the percentage by dividing the number of people who prefer cherries from the North by the total number of people who prefer cherries and then multiplying by 100:
(120 / 145) * 100 = 82.8%
Therefore, a person who prefers cherries has an 82.8% chance of being from the North.
