500 people took the survey.
12 out of 15 people is 80% of the population. 12/15 = 0.80
Thus, 80% of the population prefers eating in the restaurant.
If 400 represents the people who prefers eating in the restaurant; then, 400 is the 80% of the population. To get the total population or 100%, we must divide 400 by 0.80 or 80%
400 / 0.80 = 500 people.
Out of the 500 people, 400 selected eating in the restaurant while the remaining 20% of the population or 100 people selected cooking at home.

Let's give Cindy's age a variable.
Cindy's age = x
Cindy multiplies her age by 5
x(5)
Subtracted by 12
x(5) - 12
Divide by 3
(5x - 12)/3
The result was 16
(5x - 12)/3 = 16
Let's solve
Multiply both sides by 3
(5x - 12) = 48
Open brackets
5x - 12 = 48
Add 12 to both sides
5x = 60
Divide by 5 on both sides to isolate x
x = 12
Cindy is 12 years old.
