How many people preferred strawberries?

S.

80 people preferred apples, and 110 people preferred strawberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages can also be expressed as a fraction in decimal form. So 32% is equal to 0.32. In order to get the value for the percentage of a number, you multiply the decimal of the percentage by the number. So for apples: 32% of 250 is 0.32 multiplied by 250, and you get 80. For strawberries: 0.44 times 250 equals 110.
