In a chart, 40% prefer A, 30% B, 30% C. If 200 people were surveyed, how many prefer B?

Explanation:
Percentages represent a portion of the whole. To find how many people prefer B, apply the 30% to the total surveyed. Convert 30% to a decimal (0.30) and multiply by 200: 0.30 × 200 = 60. Therefore, 60 people prefer B.
