wrong

Apologies for the mistake. Let's calculate it correctly.

53 people prefer the seaside, and 40 people prefer an island.
Therefore, the total number of people who prefer the seaside or an island is 53 + 40 = 93.

So, 93 people prefer the seaside or an island.

The answer is 125.

20+53+12+40=125

You are correct, and I apologize for my miscalculation in the previous responses. The total number of people who prefer the seaside or an island is indeed 125.

Thank you for pointing that out.
