Answer: 100 people

Step-by-step explanation:

So if we know that 70 out of 80 prefer pro football in ht north then we could set up a proportion to solve how many will prefer pro football in the south over the total of 120.

[tex]\frac{70}{84} = \frac{x}{120}[/tex]   =?

84x = 8400

x= 100  

Now we could say that a 100 people has to prefer professional football .
