Answer:

56 people drink 3 cups daily

Explanation:

What's the total number of people that drink 3 cups?

Total number of people = 400

7 / 10 were asked said yes

Number of people that said yes = (7 / 10) × 400 = 280

280 people drink tea.

20% of 280 people drink 3 cups daily, whats the number = ?

20% of 280 = ?

20 / 100 = x / 280

(20 × 280) = (100 × x)

5600 = 100x

X = 5600 / 100

X = 56 people

56 people drink 3 cups of tea daily.
