To find out how many students preferred healthy foods, we need to divide the total number of students (35) by the number of students surveyed for every five students (5) and then multiply that by the number of students who said they liked healthy foods for every five students (2).
So, the calculation would be: (35 รท 5) x 2 = 7 x 2 = 14.
Therefore, there were 14 students who preferred healthy foods.
