To find the percentage of girls who prefer to watch a TV series, we first need to calculate the total number of girls who prefer to watch a TV series.
From the table, we can see that 152 girls prefer to watch a TV series.

Percentage = (Number of girls who prefer to watch a TV series / Total number of girls) x 100
Percentage = (152 / 249) x 100
Percentage = 0.611 x 100
Percentage = 61.1%
