use the table to answer the question

movies tv series Total
boys 142 129 271
girls 97 152 249
239 281 520

what percentage of girls prefer to watch a tv series?

________%

61.0% (152 girls prefer to watch a tv series out of the total 249 girls, so (152/249) x 100) = 61.0%)

wrong try again

My apologies for the mistake. Let's calculate the percentage correctly:

Percentage of girls preferring TV series = (Number of girls preferring TV series / Total number of girls) x 100
= (152 / 249) x 100
= 61.0%

Therefore, the correct percentage of girls who prefer to watch a TV series is 61.0%.
