(1 point)
its not 12 or 45

no

Apologies for the mistake. To find the number of people who prefer hiking, but not in the mountains, we can add the number of people who prefer hiking on an island and subtract those who also prefer hiking in the mountains.

Hiking on an island = 12
Hiking in the mountains = 45

Therefore, 12 + 40 = 52 people prefer hiking, but not in the mountains.

Therefore, the answer is 12 people prefer hiking, but not in the mountains.
