Lisa [10]

Answer:

800 people

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given in the question that 2/3 of 2400 people preferred skinless chicken.

We have to find the number of people who prefer skinless chicken

So,\\= \frac{2}{3} *2400\\=1600

1600 people prefer skinless chicken,

So,

The number of people who prefer regular chicken = 2400-1600

= 800 people
