Answer 1

To find out how many people prefer vanilla, we can calculate it based on the percentage given for vanilla in the survey.

The percentage of people who prefer vanilla is 22%.

To find the number of people who prefer vanilla, we calculate:

\[ \text{Number of people who prefer vanilla} = \text{Total number of people surveyed} \times \left(\frac{\text{Percentage of vanilla}}{100}\right) \]

\[ \text{Number of people who prefer vanilla} = 50 \times \left(\frac{22}{100}\right) = 50 \times 0.22 = 11 \]

Thus, the number of people who prefer vanilla is 11.
