I am Lyosha [343]

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.
