To predict the number of people who will say they like the clothing store the best in a survey of 125 people, you can use the proportion from the first survey.
In the first survey, 18 out of 50 people preferred the clothing store:
\[ \text{Proportion} = \frac{18}{50} = 0.36 \]
Now, apply this proportion to the second survey of 125 people:
\[ \text{Expected number} = 0.36 \times 125 = 45 \]
Therefore, the best prediction for the number of people who will say they like the clothing store the best in the second survey is D) 45.
