The survey showed that for every 5 students, 2 liked healthy foods.
So, the total number of groups of 5 students is 35 / 5 = 7 groups.
Since each group has 2 students who liked healthy foods, the total number of students who liked healthy foods is 7 * 2 = 14.
Therefore, 14 students preferred healthy foods.
