To calculate the percentage chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the North, we first need to find the total number of people who prefer cherries and are from the North.
Total number of people who prefer cherries = 120 (North) + 25 (South) = 145
Number of people who prefer cherries and are from the North = 120
Percentage chance = (Number of people who prefer cherries and are from the North / Total number of people who prefer cherries) * 100
= (120 / 145) * 100
= 82.8%
Therefore, the percentage chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the North is approximately 82.8%.
