To find the percentage chance that a person prefers cherries and is from the North, we need to calculate the proportion of people from the North who prefer cherries out of all the people who prefer cherries.

From the table, we can see that there are 120 people from the North who prefer cherries.

Total number of people who prefer cherries = 120 (from the North) + 25 (from the South) = 145

Percentage chance = (120/145) x 100 = 82.8%

Therefore, the percentage chance that a person who prefers cherries is from the North is approximately 82.8%.
