Examine the data from a survey about the part of the state people are from in the fruit they prefer if a person prefers cherries what is the percentage chance that they are from the north round to the nearest 10th?

Answer 1

To determine the percentage chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the north, we first need to look at the data:

- 40% of people from the north prefer cherries
- 25% of people from the south prefer cherries
- 35% of people from the central region prefer cherries

To find the overall percentage of people who prefer cherries, we add up the percentages from each region:
40% + 25% + 35% = 100%

Next, we calculate the percentage chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the north:
(40% / 100%) * 100% = 40%

Therefore, there is a 40% chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the north.
