The table displays information on holiday destination preferences per activity, such as swimming and hiking.

Question

Preferences Mountains Seaside Island
Hiking 45 20 12
Swimming 12 53 40
The table gives information about people’s preferences on vacation destinations and activities. How many prefer hiking, but not in the mountains?

Answer 1

To find out how many people prefer hiking but not in the mountains, you need to sum the preferences for hiking at the seaside and the island.

From the table:

• Hiking at the seaside: 20
• Hiking on the island: 12

Now, add these two numbers together: 20 (seaside) + 12 (island) = 32

Therefore, 32 people prefer hiking, but not in the mountains.
