1 answer

To find the total number of people who prefer the seaside or an island, you need to sum the preferences in the respective columns for each activity.

From the table provided:

  • Seaside: 20 (Hiking) + 53 (Swimming) = 73
  • Island: 12 (Hiking) + 40 (Swimming) = 52

Now, add the totals for the seaside and the island together:

73 (Seaside) + 52 (Island) = 125

Thus, the total number of people who prefer the seaside or an island is 125.
