To determine what percent of the males surveyed prefer chicken, we can follow these steps:

1. First, identify the proportion of males who prefer chicken from the given data. According to the table, the proportion is 0.238.

2. Convert this proportion to a percentage. To do this, multiply the proportion by 100. Hence, we calculate:
[tex]\[ 0.238 \times 100 = 23.8 \][/tex]

3. Finally, round the resulting percentage to the nearest tenth if necessary. In this case, 23.8 is already to the nearest tenth.

Therefore, the percent of males surveyed who prefer chicken is [tex]\( 23.8 \% \)[/tex].
