12x  = 400

x = \frac{400}{12}

15x = 15 * \frac{400}{12}

x = 500.

∴ 500 people took the survey

Answer:

500 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of people took the survey = x

Since 12 out of every 15 people prefer eating at a restaurant.

Therefore, fraction of total person surveyed who preferred eating at restaurant = \frac{12}{15}x people

If the number of people selected eating at restaurant = 400

Hence, \frac{12x}{15} = 400

              x = \frac{400\times 15}{12}

              x = \frac{6000}{12}

              x = 500

Total 500 people took the survey.
