The circle graph shows the various percentages of a total of 400 students surveyed.

Those that favored visiting Florida were 38% of the total. Therefore, we have


\begin{gathered} \text{Florida}=(38)/(100)*400 \\ \text{Florida}=38*4 \\ \text{Florida}=152 \end{gathered}

If 152 of the total 400 students favored visiting Florida, that means the others all put together were 248 students. This means there was 96 more surveyed than those who favored visiting Florida.

Those who favored visiting Florida = 152 surveyed

Those who favored visiting others = 248 surveyed

How many more than favor visiting Florida = 248 - 152
