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.
From the table, we see that 120 people from the North prefer cherries.
Next, we need to find the total number of people who prefer cherries.
Total number of people who prefer cherries = 120 (North) + 25 (South) = 145
Now, we can calculate the percentage chance:
Percentage chance = (Number of people from North who prefer cherries / Total number of people who prefer cherries) x 100
Percentage chance = (120 / 145) x 100
Percentage chance = 82.8%
Therefore, the percentage chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the North is approximately 82.8%.
