How many more students prefer playing video games to bike riding?

To find how many more students prefer playing video games to bike riding, follow these steps:

1. **Determine the number of students for each activity**:
   - Video games: 25% of 500 students.
   - Bike riding: 18% of 500 students.

2. **Calculate the number of students for each activity**:
   - Video games: \( 0.25 \times 500 = 125 \) students.
   - Bike riding: \( 0.18 \times 500 = 90 \) students.
