Answer

37:103

Explanation:

First, you have to identify how many people preferred the Bucaneers. That would be 74.

Secondly, you have to figure out the total number of responses. To do this, you add up ALL of the responses. They key word TOTAL is telling you this.

Thirdly, you write it as a ratio. This can be with the two numbers side by side, a fraction, or in a written response.

Lastly, you simplify your final answer.

Hope this helped!
