Answer 20

Compare the total for Don't Like Pasta to the total for Don't Like Rice. Which one is larger?

Answer 21

Pasta

Answer 22

So then you can answer the question: Do the people surveyed have more dislike for rice than pasta?

Answer 23

Pasta, Thank you

Answer 24

Right, and then just state how you figured that out and you're all good. Although just one thing, the questions asks if the people dislike rice more than pasta, so I think the answer would be something like "No, they dislike pasta more than rice".

Answer 25

Oh i would've got that wrong.... lol
