To find the probability that a randomly selected person from the survey prefers bacon or pancakes, we need to add the number of people who prefer bacon to the number of people who prefer pancakes.
From the table, we can see that 31 people prefer pancakes and 23 people prefer bacon.
So, the total number of people who prefer bacon or pancakes is 31 + 23 = 54.
Therefore, the probability is 54/100 = 27/50.
In fraction form, the probability is 27 over 50.
