This question keeps showing up here... but it can't be answered until it is clarified.
The table appears to show that there are 100 boys, of whom 50 like the Lone Ranger, 30 like Sesame Street, and 20 like The Simpsons; and similarly 200 girls, of whom 50 like the Lone Ranger, 80 like Sesame Street, and 70 like The Simpsons.
But those numbers are not realistic. Surely there are some boys and girls who like more than one of the three shows.
So does the table show the numbers of boys and girls who like each of the programs BEST?
And, if so, shouldn't the question ask for the percentage of children who like The Simpsons the BEST?
Re-post making the problem clear if you want help with it....

What percent of all children like the Simpsons?

The data about Simpsons was from a total of 90 children. This is not enough. 20 boys and 70 girls liked(?) Simpsons. No data shown for TOTAL number of children that 90 was taken from. No answer possible.
