Question

Holiday Destination Preferences by Activity
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?

(1 point)

Answer 1

To find the number of people who prefer hiking but not in the mountains, we need to consider the preferences for hiking at the seaside and on the island.

From the table:

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

Now, we add these two numbers together:

20 (seaside) + 12 (island) = 32

Therefore, the number of people who prefer hiking but not in the mountains is 32.
