To find the percent of teenagers who preferred the BlackJack II and were males, divide the number of males who preferred BlackJack II by the total number of teenagers who preferred BlackJack II, then multiply by 100. For BlackJack II, males = 196, females = 113, so total = 196 + 113 = 309. The percentage is (196 / 309) * 100 ≈ 63%.
