Answer:

Milk Chocolate: About 58% // Dark Chocolate: About 42%

Explanation:

So we have a total of 12 chocolates, both types combined. The milk chocolate's percentage of being picked is 7/12, or 58.3%, which can be rounded to 58%. The dark chocolates is 5/12, or 41.6% (The 6 is repeating), and 41.6% can be rounded to 42%.

Hope this Helps!!
