Answer:

5/12

Explanation:

So probability is favorable outcome/total number of outcomes

So first we need to find how many pople there are in total.16+20+7+5=48

Now there are 20 people who like both cream and sugar.

So our fraction would be 20/48

We can divide both the numerator and denominator by 4 to simplify the fraction.

5/12

Or as a percentage it would be 41.67%
