Lizzy: 6 kids in Carolyn's daycare prefer peas, 9 prefer carrots, and 5 prefer corn. What percentage of the children prefer corn?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:
First find the total number of children: 6 kids + 9 kids + 5 kids = 20 kids. Then divide the number of kids who prefer corn by the total number of kids and multiply by 100% to express as a percentage: 5 kids / 20 kids * 100% = 25%. Final answer: 25.
