    Answer: 25%

    Explanation:

    22% only represents a portion of the amount of customers who are caught sampling candy. Of this amount of customers who are caught, 12% are never caught, which means that 12% of the total 100% of customers who are caught, are never caught. The 22% excludes this 12%, indicating that this 22% is a net amount after the 12% has been accounted for.

    Therefore: 100 - 12 = 88%

    This means that this 22% only represents 88% of the total amount of customers whom are caught sampling candy. This 22% must thus be converted to a gross figure (out of 100%) to get the actual value of all customers who sample the candy:

    22/88 = 0.25

    0.25 x 100 = 25%
