"A" (and any subsequent words) was ignored because we limit queries to 32 words.

Answer 2

Given,

Total residents in the four villages = 6200

50 percent of the people from village B have red as their favorite color.

To find,

The number of people who have red as their favorite color except for the people from village B.

Solution,

The number of people who have red as their favorite color except for the people from village B is 527. (Option 2)

We can simply solve the numerical problem by the following method.

We know that,

There are four villages with total residents 6200 and 50 percent of the people from village B have red as their favorite color.

Now,

The number of people living in B = 23 percent of the total residents (according to the statistics given)

                                                       = $\frac{23}{100} * 6200$

                                                       = 1426

We know that 50 percent of the population of village B likes red.

Thus,

The number of people living in B and liking red = $\frac{50}{100} * 1426$

                                                                                          = 713

Now,

The number of people who have red as their favorite color = 20 percent of the total population (according to the statistics given)

⇒ $\frac{20}{100}*6200$

⇒ 1240

Thus,

The number of people who have red as their favorite color except for the people from village B = 1240 - 713

                                    = 527

As a consequence, we can state that, except for the residents of Village B, the total number of persons who prefer the color red is 527. (Option 2)
