Answer:

D. 16

Explanation:

You first need to find the total percentage who liked vanilla, then subtract it from the total percentage of chocolate.

To find the total of those who liked vanilla you would have to add the given percentages and then subtract that from 100.

Chocolate: 42%

Strawberry: 18%

Coffee: 14%

Vanilla: x

42 + 18 = 60 + 14 = 74%

100 - 74 = x

Vanilla = x = 26%

To find how many more like chocolate than vanilla, you would subtract the two percentages.

Chocolate: 42%

Vanilla: 26%

42 - 26 = 16
