Answer: I felt so dumb when I realized I was reading it wrong.

The answer is 0.688

The question is asking... out of all the people who liked sweet mint were adults. meaning 5+11=16-> Total 5-> kids 11-Adults

11/16=0.6875 rounded = 0.688

first we need the total of both children and adults that like all the flavors:

12 + 5 + 20 + 23 + 11 + 16 = 87 total people

then find the number of adults that like sweet mint: from the table 11 adults like sweet mint

to find the probability divide the number of adults who like sweet mint by the total number of people:

11 / 87 = 0.126
the answer is A
