The table gives information about people’s preferences on vacation destinations and activities. How many prefer hiking, but not in the mountains?
preferences| mountain| seaside| island

swimming |12 | 53 | 40
From the table, we can see that 45 people prefer hiking in the mountains, 20 prefer hiking by the seaside, and 12 prefer hiking on an island.
To find out how many prefer hiking, but not in the mountains, we need to subtract the number of people who prefer hiking in the mountains from the total number of people who prefer hiking.
Total number of people who prefer hiking: 45 + 20 + 12 = 77
Number of people who prefer hiking, but not in the mountains: 77 - 45 = 32
Therefore, 32 people prefer hiking, but not in the mountains.

The table gives information about people’s preferences on vacation destinations and activities. How many prefer the seaside or an island?
From the table:
- 20 people prefer hiking by the seaside
- 53 people prefer swimming by the seaside
- 12 people prefer hiking on an island
- 40 people prefer swimming on an island
To find out how many people prefer the seaside or an island, we need to add the number of people who prefer each of those options:
Preferring the seaside = 20 (hiking) + 53 (swimming) = 73
Preferring an island = 12 (hiking) + 40 (swimming) = 52
Total number of people who prefer the seaside or an island = 73 + 52 = 125
Therefore, 125 people prefer the seaside or an island.
