    First, count the people who don't like choco ice cream

    dont like = whole - who like

    dont like = 25 - 5

    dont like = 20

    There are 20 people who dont like choco ice cream

    Second, transform the number of people to percentage.

    percentage = number who dont like/whole

    percentage = 20/25

    Percentage means per hundred, so we need to change the denominator to 100. To change the denominator, it should be multiplied by 4. The numerator also need to be multiplied by 4.

    percentage = 20/25

    percentage = (20 * 4) / (25 * 4)

    percentage = 80/100

    percentage = 80%

    The answer is c. 80%
